Are you ready to POP into October?
As a service project throughout October, Mrs. Collins’s BMS advisory is collecting pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Please keep those pop tabs, and send them to either school -- all month long! BMS students may drop them off in the band room at BMS or they can also be dropped off to the BES office.
Let’s PULL TOGETHER for Ronald McDonald House!

On October 16th, the 5th and 6th graders will travel to the College of Lake County to attend a live musical performance titled Katie: The Strongest of the Strong. This powerful opera for young audiences is inspired by the true story of Katie Sandwina, a circus strongwoman who – beyond earning the title “the strongest woman in the world," and being a wife and mother – also helped to lead the women’s suffrage movement in the early 1900s.
This 45-minute operetta is sung in English. We will have discussions and complete activities while learning about singing/vocal ranges, instruments, storyline, and being a good audience member, among other aspects of the performance, in music classes.

Last week in the BMS forestry elective, students relined and cleared the new path in the north section of the school forest. This path was created by last year’s students and connects the middle school end to the Tom Holden Trail. By clearing the path of new growth and dead plants, it makes the path more accessible to people of the community. Please come and enjoy the school forest and watch for the changes throughout the year!
Families from 4K had such a fantastic time at Apple Barn Orchard last week—it was everything you’d hope for in a classic autumn outing!
The apple cider donuts were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious—worth the trip alone! We sipped on homemade apple cider that was perfectly sweet and spiced, the perfect complement to the crisp fall air.
One of the highlights was the tractor ride through the orchard. The kids loved it, and the views were stunning with rows of apple trees and golden leaves all around. Apple picking was a big hit, too—plenty of juicy apples ready to be picked right off the tree. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and everything was clearly set up with families in mind.

Yesterday, BMS celebrated students who modeled our first character trait of the year: Respect 🙌 from our Purposeful People/Character Strong curriculum. Each Be Brookwood Student of the Month received our brand-new, limited edition t-shirt 🐎💙—a special way to honor their leadership and example.
To kick off October, we introduced our next focus: Responsibility. Students (and staff!) jumped into interactive games that showed what responsibility looks like in action—fun, teamwork, and lots of Mustang spirit! 💪
We’re proud of our students for Growing into Greatness every day at Brookwood Middle School.
Today, the Genoa City Joint 2 School District came together to raise awareness for childhood cancer through their annual gold walk — as September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The elementary school students buddied up with the middle school students and did various get-to-know-you activities. Then they gathered to do their gold walk around the middle school. It was a beautiful day to spend time with one another, as a district, and raise awareness for childhood cancer. Thank you to the Genoa City Police Department for joining us and taking some pictures with their drone and the Brookwood PTO for leading our water stations. All funds donated will be given to Kisses From Friends to continue to support our local families affected by childhood cancer.
Mr. Dittner’s 3rd-grade class has been named our BES Be Brookwood Classroom Winner for the month of September! The students in his class consistently demonstrated respect, responsibility, and courage during Guidance, earning them a nomination and then later being chosen for this special recognition.
The Be Brookwood program celebrates students who are kind, safe, and responsible. Each month, one student from every classroom is recognized and rewarded with the opportunity to choose a meaningful prize. In addition, one classroom is selected to receive a certificate and proudly display the traveling Mustang trophy for the entire month.
Congratulations to Mr. Dittner’s class on this well-deserved honor!
