8th graders had a great time on their field trip to the 1st Infantry Division from World War I to the Vietnam War Museum. They were able to get to see and walk through military events that they have been learning about and will be learning about throughout the year in Social Studies. What makes this museum unique is that students get the opportunity to be hands on with many of the displays.
BES Families! We hope you were able to check your child(ren)'s backpacks yesterday, because After School Adventure Club forms went home! There is limited space in each class, so we recommend you get your forms turned in as soon as possible!
Yesterday, 3rd graders celebrated Heritage Day 2024. Students presented their heritage day projects, as well as sharing treats from their homeland. This heritage project was created as a way for families to come together and work as a team to learn about their own family's history. The value of these projects is magnified when the projects are shared with their classmates. Students can see truly how everyone has a unique story to tell and everyone comes from a different background. After two months of researching and learning the students presented their own family history, their country of origins information, as well as their own traditional tale from their country. Way to work hard and continue to grow into your greatness, Mustangs!!

Brookwood Alumni John Nousaine (currently a senior at Badger) and Kaylub Kosior (currently a junior) competed at the Technicians of Tomorrow event at the Milwaukee Auto Show. This competition pits the top high school automotive technology students against one another in a written and hands on skills competition. The best of the best high school students compete for prizes including tools and technical college scholarships. Eight high schools from SE Wisconsin qualified for the competition with two students representing each school. John and Kaylub placed 4th for Badger, taking home scholarships and tools for both the students and for the automotive program at Badger High School. Way to make us #MustangProud!

Today, our elementary students celebrated their Kids Heart Challenge with a Pie a Teacher Event. Here are some sneak peek pictures. Stay tuned for the celebratory culminating video coming soon!!
Thank you to everyone that was a part of this event! Staff…students…families….and community members!! We are so thankful for your support.

6th grade celebrated Pi Day by discovering why when you divide the circumference by the diameter of any circle, you get a number very close to 3.14. They walked three different size circles, counted footsteps and learned how to create decimals from whole number division. Then, they measured other circles using the metric system and discovered the same results.
It was fun to find out that Pi was originally created by the Babylonians and that Archimedes gave the mathematical phenomena its symbol.
Thank you to parents who donated apple pie for them to enjoy!
To get us ready for Peace, Love, and Kindness Day, BMS students spent some time Tie-dyeing t-shirts during their lunch recess. They will wear them on Friday, March 22nd. Let's come together for Kindness and Peace! During Kindness Week, students will also have a chance to write positive messages on the sidewalks, paint rocks for kindness, and clean up around the school grounds.
Thank you for your patience as we worked with our providers in restoring our phones and internet. It has now been fully restored throughout the District.

Brookwood is celebrating Music In Our Schools Month! At the Middle School, staff was able to share what they sang or played in middle/high school and what their favorite genre or music artist is!
For nearly 40 years, March has been designated as Music In Our Schools Month®. The positive impact of music in the lives of our students lasts a lifetime. Every day in General Music, Band, and Choir, Mrs. Collins and Ms. Bullock dedicate themselves to reaching all students with life-changing musical experiences.
Parents, administrators, and the wider community often only see the wonderful results of music performances; however, miss the months of practice and rehearsals and more importantly the learning process that takes place to make it all happen.
We encourage our community to celebrate music education as an essential part of every student’s educational journey!
Grades 1-4: Green Schools Group: Explore ways to help our natural habitat by improving our classrooms, schools, and community.
Wednesday from 3:30-4:30
March 13 & 20
April 3,10,17, & 24
May 1,8,15,22,& 29
For more information, please contact Mrs. Bobula: Melissa.Bobula@gcj2.k12.wi.us
March is Youth Art Month! It is a national and annual celebration of student art. Started in 1961 through The Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc., Youth Art Month exists to recognize art education as a viable factor in the total education curriculum that develops citizens of a global society and to recognize art as a necessity for the full development of better quality of life for all. Please join us in celebrating all our Mustang artists. Here are some photos of some of the work done by our middle school students.
See you at tonight’s 7/8 Band & 6/7/8 Choir Concert @BMS 6:30PM
