Congratulations to Mrs. Love (aka Maddie Pacholczak) for being nominated and WINNING Geneva Lake’s award of being THE Best Elementary Teacher of Geneva Lake 2025! Thank you to all those who voted and showed YOUR love to our Mrs. Love!!
“I am incredibly honored to receive the Best Teacher Award through Best of Geneva Lake 2025! I truly love where I work and the amazing community that surrounds me each day. Teaching isn’t just my job, it’s my passion. A passion I’ve had since I was a little girl. I love building meaningful relationships with my students and their families, and watching those bonds grow into lifelong connections. Seeing my students learn, laugh, and believe in themselves is what makes every day so rewarding. I’m so grateful to be part of a school that values connection, growth, and the joy of learning.” - Mrs. Love

Last Friday, Miss Gaylord's advisory had a wonderful morning spreading Brookwood spirit with the Fall Snack Cart! Students shared treats, warm smiles, and words of appreciation as they delivered snacks and drinks to staff around the BMS building.
This project gave students the chance to practice teamwork, kindness, and community service.

Yesterday, our first graders had a wonderful time visiting the Bear Den Zoo & Petting Farm! They loved meeting friendly animals like goats, bunnies, and kittens, and were excited to see more wild animals such as a raccoon, badger, black bear, lemur, and a few foxes. Students also had fun playing on the zoo’s playground and enjoyed a hayride through the woods. It was a fun-filled day of hands-on learning and outdoor adventure!
