Here is a funny, heartwarming and if you think about it...

BROWNELL HAS BEEN SELECTED AS A 2015 STATE OF CALIFORNIA
GOLD RIBBON SCHOOL AND A TITLE 1 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WINNER
After weeks of waiting to hear final word on our California Gold Ribbon School award, Brownell was selected as one of the secondary school winners on Monday, May 4th. For the next two years because of testing changes, the State will be awarding the Gold Ribbon Award instead of the Distinguished School Award, as the two have slightly different criteria, but equal prestige. Brownell will also be awarded a Title 1 Academic Achievement Award! Award Ceremonies for our region of the State will be on May 29th in San Francisco. Way to go, Bruins!
