Thanks to everyone who came to our 1st “Back to School Family Picnic” on Thursday, Sept. 9th from 5:30-7:30pm. Approximately 80 people enjoyed music provided by DJ Tony Tocco (we had some awesome dancers), facepainting, &/or running around the playground with friends! We greatly appreciate Chris Washeleski organizing this family fun event.
The National PTA & Nickelodeon have partnered to designate Sept. 25th as Worldwide Day of Play and encourage families to TURN OFF THE TV & GET UP, GET OUT, & GO PLAY! For more information, please visit http://pro-social.nick.com/world-wide-day-of-play/
Are your ready for “Ford Thunderquest 2010”?
FIRST Lego League (FLL) will be entering its ninth year in Utica Community Schools and we hope to have Team Browning represented! If you are interested in coaching or volunteering to help, please contact Mrs. Hassell at 797-4000 to learn more about this exciting educational event.
This program is mentored by the 2006 and 2008 World Champion Thunder Chickens which means we’ll have world class support! For more information, you can also visit http://www.firstlegoleague.org or contact Jacob Palmer at 586-797-6400.
Thank you all for a wonderful year of fundraising! We raised a total of $1604.84 as a result of the Browning community participation in the “My School is Cool” Lakeside program in 2009/2010. We were one of 15 schools chosen to run in this year’s program. Outstanding!!
Please start saving all your receipts from Lakeside Mall and we can make some easy money! Every dollar we spend will earn us a point pass. Browning has a locker for point passes in the Lord & Taylor court upstairs or they are accepting point passes at customer service counter right now for the fall session.
Any questions or concerns, please contact one of our “My School is Cool” co-chairs: Dawn Neubacher ([email protected]) or Tracy Sorrentino ([email protected])

Dear Parents:
What better time to foster family engagement then the start of a new school year?
From the White House to our homes, we all recognize the need to prepare our children to be healthy, happy, well-educated citizens! In 2010/2011, we hope to reach out to Browning parents & staff with our “Healthy Habits/Healthy Minds” theme to further strengthen the ties between school & community. By promoting good eating habits & encouraging physical activity, we can help emphasize the important roles we all play in keeping our children healthy and ready to learn.
On behalf of the entire Browning Elementary family, the PTA would like to invite you to support our efforts in this initiative & to help supplement the classroom learning environment. Without PTA fundraising dollars & our amazing volunteers, the opportunity for on-site learning experiences, field trips, playground equipment, supplemental learning materials, and, as in the past, Family Fun Events would not be possible.
Please check out our calendar of events & membership materials! We look forward to working with you to support our students and staff in another “Browning the Best” year!
Browning PTA Team
