The first summer school session of "Shakespeare in a Week" FLEW BY!! In just three days, a band of Brookwood students took up the tale of Tom Sawyer and turned it into a fine Readers Theatre performance. By the fourth day, they were up on stage, tellin’ the story. The audience was all smiles, and I reckon ol’ Tom himself would've been mighty proud.
Today, our summer school class, Passport to the World, took an exciting journey to China! Students explored the rich history, vibrant culture, and diverse landscapes of this fascinating country. We were especially honored to welcome Mrs. Xiong, whose father is from China and mother is from Hong Kong, to share personal stories and insights that brought our learning to life. To top it all off, we sampled some delicious traditional Chinese dishes! Check back tomorrow to see where our global adventure takes us next!
Day 1 of Summer School : in the books!
What was your child’s favorite course? Building a Shed? Traveling Around the World? Art Camp? Cooking? Weight Room Training? S.T.E.A.M.? Forestry? P.E.? Under the Sea?
SO many to choose from!! 💙

BMS Families- Here is a layout of the last day of school for middle school students!
4th and 5th grade students put their math skills to the test while watching the Brewers take on the Orioles last week. It was a great time and students love cheering on their home team. Each student was able to enjoy a hot dog and water too!
In guidance class, second grade students have been learning about different career clusters and pathways. Recently, they had the opportunity to do some career research and found some careers they might like to do and some they wouldn't want to do by using, Paws In Jobland.
Our BMS Jazz Band performed in the Area Jazz Fest at Badger HS last night. Along with students from LGMS and BHS, they learned more about the blues scale and improvisation, then played in a fantastic concert. 💙🤍🎶
We’re thrilled to recognize a group of amazing Brookwood Elementary students who each logged over 500 reading steps this school year! Their hard work earned them the High Stepper Award, and we couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, perseverance, and commitment they've shown! We are so proud of our growing readers!
