The Week of March 23, 2015

Hello Everyone!


  • Well, our Gold Ribbon Validation Team representing the California Department of Education has come and gone... and we have been validated!  This means we are well on our way to a Gold Ribbon Schools designation.
  • The team came through our school, visited classrooms, and showed particular interest in our Bear Den, Garden, Common Core Teaching, and our P.E. department's Conditioning and Fitness applications.  They like all we had to offer and said we will be highly recommended to receive the Gold Ribbon Award!

  • I want to publicly thank the following Parents who participated on the Parent Panel as well as the students who participated on the Student Panel!

  • Parent Panel
  • Mr. Michael Joe
  • Mrs. Kristin Mullen
  • Ms. Louise Shields
  • Mrs. Nhung Nguyen
  • Mrs. Nereida Barron Torres
  • Mrs. Maricela Tomasetti
  • Mr. Mel Mukai
  • Mrs. Mary Ann Mukai

  • Student Panel
  • Lucas Bundros – 8th Grade
  • Dominic Fortino – 8th Grade
  • Lauren DeRosa – 7TH Grade
  • Mia Ruelas – 7th Grade
  • Benjamin Anderson – 6TH Grade
  • Jacob Roseberry – 6th Grade

  • The next step in the process will take from two to four weeks, so somewhere mid April we will know our fate.  Thank you all for being Brownell Bruins!
