9:30AM - 5th Grade Recognition
Each year, we have a ceremony in the cafeteria to celebrate our amazing 5th graders. This ceremony includes: 5th grade speeches, certificate distribution/recognition of each student, and a lovely musical performance. Please plan on arriving 10 minutes before 9:30 to grab a seat!

10:45AM -Clap Out
We always end our recognition with a CLAP OUT! All of the students/staff at Brown Elementary step out into the hallway and applaud our 5th graders as they march through our school for all of the amazing things they have accomplished in their elementary career!

We ask that parents go out onto the playground immediately following recognition to end our CLAP OUT right outside the playground doors. This will lead directly into our Lunch on the Lawn which is detailed below.

11:00AM - Lunch on the Lawn
Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce our upcoming "Lunch on the Lawn" event, set to take place on the last day of school, May 31st. This special occasion offers students the chance to share a meal with someone they cherish, creating cherished memories to wrap up the academic year. To foster a sense of unity and make it easier to find students in the same grade level, we're thrilled to have our final Spirit Day of Grade Level Colors - 5th Grade: GRAY (5th Grade Shirts)

**Event Details:**
Date & Time: May 31st, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
Location: Brown Elementary Playground

**Logistics:**
Parking: We know that parking can be a challenge, so we invite families to park alongside the access road or by the Bradley tennis courts and the children will meet you outside.
Seating: For your comfort, please bring a blanket or lawn chairs to sit on during the event.
Signing Out: If you plan on leaving with your child after lunch, kindly sign them out with their classroom teacher to ensure everyone's safety and security.

We anticipate that this event will be a heartwarming way to conclude the school year and usher in the summer break. We're eagerly looking forward to seeing all the smiling faces and happy families at "Lunch on the Lawn"! Please see the included map for where to meet your child(ren) on the playground.

Tomorrow, Brown Elementary will host FUTURE YOU, a career day event!

Students will be given Career Day Passports to write down notes about careers that interest them.

At our annual Art Breakfast, we invite graduating seniors with artwork in our gallery to come back with their families for a special breakfast. They receive their framed work, a ton of thanks and well-wishes, and a few dozen hugs. It’s a Brown tradition that’s been going on for over 30 years and we are so thankful to keep it going!

We are inviting all Brown Elementary Alumni graduating this Spring to a celebration of your success.

Please join us for a get together to enjoy treats and drinks and connect with old friends.

At 2:30, feel free to visit with teachers that have a Welcome sign on their door. These teachers were at Brown when you were here. Make sure you thank them for a job well done.

We will prepare for clap out by gathering outside the primary grade hallway doors at 3:00 pm – traveling down the hall and out the 5th grade doors. Current Brown students will be lined up to clap for you once again. After clap out feel free to head back into the building through the front doors and return to the Media Center. You are welcome to stay and visit until 4:00 pm.

We are so proud of your accomplishments and wish you well as you start the next chapter outside of Hilliard City Schools.

Today, the Shared Power Network brought Brown our very own Green Energy Machine! This is a 100 watt solar panel with a 12 volt battery and a Bluetooth data collection system. We can’t wait to see how teachers and students incorporate solar energy into a variety of subjects, from math and science to language arts! Stay tuned…

Nothing like ending 5 weeks of Run Club with a race at Hoffman Trails! Congrats to all runners and great work to all those who ran this spring. PRs were made while others celebrated running their first mile. Keep Running!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the ladies that keep our school running smoothly!

Attention families! This takes place tomorrow⚾
