All Genoa City area Veterans are invited to Brookwood Middle School for a Veteran's Day Assembly celebration on Friday, November 11th, beginning at 9:30am.
This week, the first graders have been reading the books Creepy Carrots, Creepy Pair of Underwear, and Creepy Crayon by Aaron Reynolds. Each day they listened to the story getting read by the author and they have enjoyed it SO much. They have been writing using an adjective to describe the creepy carrots, if they would want a creepy pair of underwear, and what object they would turn creepy and what their book would be called. They also learned and filled out a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear. The students have also completed a craft activity where they got to make Jasper Rabbit in a creepy pair of underwear as well. It was a fun week and the students really had a blast!
Showing unity by wearing orange! Unity Day was AMAZING!! Amazing to see so many of our Brookwood Family wear orange to stand up against bullying and unite together for kindness, acceptance and inclusion.

BES Fall Glow Blacklight Art Show
Kindergarten through 3rd grade artists have been working hard to make this years’ art for the Fall Glow Black Light Art Show. Visit the art room (116) at BES during conferences to see glowing owls, pumpkins, scarecrows and skeletons! Don’t miss the fantastic fluorescent art – everyone is welcome.
6th grade art classes are working on constructing coil pots from clay. Students are building on previous ceramic skills such as creating a pinch pot and using the score and slip method to join clay pieces together while learning how to build and attach coils to make a small vase or cup. These pieces will be dried, fired in the kiln, and then glazed. Clay days are always a favorite in the art room!

Monday, October 24th - Wear red to kick off Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week - October 24 - 28th - Beyond teaching facts and spreading awareness on the dangers of drug and alcohol use through classroom guidance lessons during the year, Red Ribbon Week presents an excellent opportunity for us to teach students about the benefits of building lifelong healthy habits, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
As part of Bully Prevention Month, students at BES were busy learning about what bullying is and isn't, what to do if you are being bullied, how to help a friend and how to be a friend. Students learned through classroom discussions, video clips and stories appropriate to their age. To wrap it up a unity tree of students' responses to bullying questions such as what is bullying, how can you help yourself or a friend and how to be a good friend. Students also signed an anti bullying pledge and received a badge for doing so. The tree and anti bullying pledge will be up through the month of October, don't forget to stop by and check them out when you are in for parent teacher conferences.
Today 3rd graders took a trip to Badger High School to learn about Agriscience. Through different learning stations, students had hands-on experiences with Soils, Veterinary Science, Plants, Beekeeping, Food Science and Aquaponics. Thanks Badger FFA for the opportunity to learn more about Agriscience. Third graders had a blast.

We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!!
Way to go, Mustangs! Last week was a fun and spirited Homecoming week! From wacky hats and tie-dyes to snuggly pajamas and Brookwood swag, this was a fun way to band together as Mustangs across our District. On Friday, the middle school finished up the week with a pep assembly put on by the student council. The 6, 7, & 8 band kicked off the assembly and then the fall sports teams were recognized for a job well done. Our Mustangs really pulled together during this assembly...literally. It was a battle of the ages. There were tug-o-war competitions between homerooms and then cross-grade levels. Eventually, it was the aged that took the lead. The battle between Metcalf's homeroom and the BMS teachers was a tough one, but the teachers came out on top! Great job, Mustangs.
