🎭 On October 16, our 5th and 6th grade students attended “Katie – The Strongest of the Strong” at the College of Lake County! This inspiring opera told the story of Katie Sandwina — a celebrated strongwoman with the Barnum & Bailey Circus in the early 1900s. 💪 Not only was Katie known for her incredible strength, but she also used her powerful voice to support the Women’s Suffrage movement. Students enjoyed learning about the elements of opera while discovering Katie’s remarkable true story! 🌟

Yesterday, our BMS Dance Team had their first performance—and they were amazing! They’ve been working so hard, and their debut was a hit with the crowd. We are so #MustangProud of our BMS Dance Team!
Recently, our 3rd-grade students were invited to Badger High School for the annual Agriscience Day. Students explored topics such as soils, aquaponics, plant propagation, beekeeping, and much more through engaging, hands-on presentations led by Badger High School students. It was especially exciting to see some of our former Mustangs serving as such wonderful role models!

Mrs. Deephouse and Miss Flood's Kindergarten classes have been learning all about classifying and sorting in math. They investigated the attributes of objects and grouped or sorted them by their color, shape, and size. Students LOVED the hands-on activities. Active learning is their favorite!!
Way to work hard, Mustangs!

🚒Last week was - FIRE SAFETY/PREVENTION WEEK and BES had some very special guests!! Thank you to the Bloomfield Genoa City Fire & Rescue for spending time with us!! Our students had a blast taking special tours of some emergency vehicles, learning about fire safety and prevention, and spraying the water hose!!
That chill has hit the air…along with our glass cased art displays in both buildings…
Students in Mrs. Erickson's 5th-grade science class took advantage of the great weather last week and moved their learning to the school forest. They were challenged with finding as many different kinds of leaves as they could and then classified them in different ways, such as size, color, and shape. It was a great afternoon of learning!
Our 6th graders continued to rise to the challenge on day 2 of camp — tackling team activities, outdoor adventures, and new experiences that tested their perseverance and teamwork. 💪
We wrapped up the night around the campfire, celebrating the effort, determination, and positive spirit our students showed throughout both days. 🌟
So proud of our Mustangs for embracing every challenge and making memories that will last a lifetime! 💙

Camp Wonderland gives our students the chance to step out of their comfort zones, try new things, and build perseverance through hands-on challenges and teamwork.

Our first sharer of Greatness this school year is a staff member known at BES and BMS….Ms. Bullock, who was recently the guest speaker for the Lake Geneva Chapter of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The Chapter first began supporting our students in 2017 when the fifth-grade students showed an interest in opera. They sent Tracy Cantin to Brookwood to perform for the students. Since then, Brookwood students have attended three opera performances through their sponsorship. The program is called Opera in the Neighborhood. The performances are 45 minutes long and are performed mostly in English. The fifth and sixth-graders will be attending Katie: The Strongest of the Strong later this month.
Way to go, Ms. Bullock!!!! We are SO #MustangProud of you!!!
