Thomas considers Brown’s classroom his favorite spot at Mill Valley because of all the time he spends there with his friends and Science Olympiad teammates.

“I’m not in there too often, but when I am it’s great,” Thomas said.  “I like Chad Brown’s room because all of my Science Olympiad friends hang out there and we can practice together.”

Likewise, sophomore Elizabeth Joseph has spent a lot of time in Brown’s room and enjoys going there before and after school.

“I have a lot of good memories in there,” Joseph said, “before school and during Science Olympiad.”

Brown’s room has helped Thomas through high school thus far, and he often looks forward to Science Olympiad practice, hanging out and eating pizza, all of which take place in Brown’s room.

“Every time I go into Chad brown’s room, it instantly makes my day,” Thomas said.

The effect that Brown’s room has on Thomas and Joseph is very positive and they are in his room almost every day.
