Celebrating World Kindness Day - A Week of Kindness Challenges at Perry Browne!
We are excited to celebrate World Kindness Day on Wednesday, November 13th, and we’re inviting all of our students at Perry Browne to join in spreading kindness throughout the week! As part of this celebration, we will be participating in a series of fun and meaningful kindness challenges, provided by our PurposeFull People curriculum, a program that focuses on fostering social-emotional growth and positive character traits.
We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of kindness, both at school and at home. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to a week full of kindness and positivity!

In observance of Veterans Day, students from Norwich Middle School visited multiple monuments located in East and West Side Parks in downtown Norwich. During their visit, students explored the historical significance of several conflicts, spanning from the American Revolution to Operation Desert Storm. They had the opportunity to reflect on the names of individuals who served and sacrificed their lives for the country, fostering a deeper appreciation for those who dedicated themselves to national service. Additionally, students were encouraged to attend the Veterans Day ceremony in downtown Norwich on Monday at 11:00 a.m. To round out their experience, they took a brief tour of the Chenango County Courthouse, further enriching their understanding of local history and civic institutions.
Thank you to all who have served.
