Lower School Boys Take Sneak Peek at New Dining Hall

Friday, May 10, 2013

On May 10, the youngest Browning boys were treated to a welcome from Headmaster Clement, high fives with the Panther mascot and Form VI boys, cookies from Chef Omar Maldonado and, perhaps best of all, a sneak peek at the brand new dining hall with Lower School Head Laurie Gruhn. Still in place from Alumni Reunion Day were the display cases and life-size cut-outs representing 125 years of Browning history. Click here to view photos.

125th Anniversary Alumni Reunion

Thursday, May 9, 2013

On Thursday, May 9, more than 200 guests returned to Browning for the 125th Anniversary Alumni Reunion. Guests included alumni from the Classes of 1950 through 2012, along with their guests, as well as a number of current and former faculty. The Class of 1938 Alumnus Achievement Award was presented at the cocktail reception posthumously to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Class of 1893. His great-grandson, Justin Rockefeller, accepted the Award on his behalf. Also during the reception, the Stephen S. Perry '76 Memorial Class Representative Awards were presented to eight outstanding class representatives, followed by the Class of 2003's announcement of its 10th Reunion Gift to the School. Earlier in the day, the entire Upper School had the opportunity to hear from a Distinguished Alumni Panel of three Alumnus Achievement Award recipients: Thomas Oliphant '63, Charles Plohn '62 and Linton Wells '63. At noon, the annual invitation-only True Grytte Society & Consecutive-Year Donors Luncheon was held at the nearby Knickerbocker Club, where a record number of 11 new members were inducted to the True Grytte Society. Tours of the School and Browning's new facilities were also a big highlight of the day. Special thanks to all who helped make this year's milestone Alumni Reunion a success! Please view photos from all the events here: Pages 1, 2, 3, and 4. Photography credit goes to Rossa Cole.

Browning Boys Help Editors Choose Newspaper Content

Thursday, May 9, 2013

Editors from News-O-Matic, which offers children aged 7 to 10 their first daily newspaper, spoke with fourth grade Browning boys on May 10 to determine the content of that day’s edition. The editorial team produces five news stories each day, “covering the latest in world news, science, sports, as well as the wacky stories kids love.” According to the publication’s website, “News-O-Matic readers also have access to amazing history timelines, fun news games, interactive maps and countless other features. Readers not only have the opportunity to explore the latest current events, but they will be given a voice as well. They will be able to rate the articles, ask questions, and even submit drawings that relate to the news. News-O-Matic helps create a fun daily reading routine — all while encouraging readers to become knowledgeable, global citizens. It offers a window to the world (and beyond)!”

Russell Kahn, editor-in-chief of Press4Kids, Inc., which publishes News-O-Matic, explained to Browning parents, “This past Friday your sons helped pick the news for News-O-Matic. They were amazing editors-in-chief, offering their insights on the stories and asking all the relevant questions. The result of their choices was evident in a stellar Friday edition. In case you are interested, the News-O-Matic app (with the complete edition) can be downloaded from the iPad App Store by clicking News-O-Matic. It means so much to our team to have the opportunity to speak with students directly; it is inspiring from both a personal and professional perspective.”

After reviewing a number of possible story ideas, the boys literally put their heads down and voted on their favorites which became the basis of the news stories in that day’s edition.
