The Browne Academy Parents Association (PA) is a “friend” raising organization tasked with building community and bringing together families to support the students and school. Every family at Browne is a member of the PA, which hosts a number of social gatherings each year and provides volunteer opportunities for members of our community.
Building the Bruin Community
In its commitment to Browne’s Core value of Community, the PA hosts several community events for Browne families and friends during the year. These fun gatherings are a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families and get involved at Browne. Some examples include the Back to School BBQ, Fall Festival, Halloween Parent Social and Truck-or-Treat, Bingo Night, and Family and Friend Visit Day. In addition, at the grade level, our PA Community Builders organize events for families within each class with the goal of building community among families.
Active Community Members Through Volunteerism
Family involvement and volunteering is part of the fabric of Browne and through their engagement families enrich the experience of our students. Volunteering at Browne is designed to provide opportunities for involvement for all families, from being a guest reader in class to chairing an event, there is an option for everyone regardless of the time you can commit. Volunteer opportunities include but are not limited to teacher appreciation events, community gatherings, guest reader/presenter in class, field trip chaperones, Bruin Benefit, the Annual Fund, community service, and more.
