In the spirit of being thankful, we wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your support in regards to our online Scholastic book fair! With your purchases and dedication to your children's growth in and love of reading, our school received over $300 to purchase new library materials.
While we certainly look forward to being able to have in-person book fairs again, we are very appreciative that we were able to make this online book fair a success.
Until next time, happy reading!

The Lake Geneva Food Service that provides our District breakfast and lunch meals to our students has received an extension for the Federal Summer Food Service Program. Brookwood students are eligible for one FREE breakfast and one FREE lunch daily for the entire 2020-2021 school year. We encourage each student to take advantage of our nutritious meals at no cost. This will require no action on your part, just show up! Additional meals, milk, or a la carte purchases will be debited from the students' account. If your family has already paid toward your lunch balance, we ask that you please leave the balance for future use.
Miss Ferguson loves being able to see all of her 2nd graders during their daily morning meetings! Way to work hard, Mustangs! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
3rd grade students in Ms. Skalecki's class are researchers becoming experts on a topic of their choice. Students chose an informational topic they want to learn all about, and are gathering facts about their topic. Students have chosen topics like tsunamis, kangaroos, ferrets, sharks, legos, and more. They will be writing, and organizing information to share with others and we can't wait to see their final products! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

Here is our first video from our GCJ2 Family Engagement's Read Aloud Series. Ms. Stanley's reading strategy she is sharing with you is to make predictions! Making predictions is a lifelong skill that we not only use while reading but is intertwined within the many tasks we partake in on a daily basis!
Take part on being interactive with us on her video posted on Facebook!

Students in first grade have been working hard on their addition strategies! Students practiced their doubles facts by making a flip book and playing a doubles dice game. Doubles aren't trouble for these sharp first graders! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
Last year, our BMS Physical Education department was fortunate to win a $1,000 grant, and the money was spent on Table Tennis equipment. This was the first time our 7th
and 8th graders had the opportunity to play Table Tennis at Brookwood, and we had a blast! It is such a fun sport, that can be played throughout a lifetime. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
