Community Garden Interest Form
Sign up on this form for this great community opportunity located at BMS! Signing up for a week entitles you to a summer of harvesting whatever is ready to be picked and what you can use for your table. There is plenty! Many hands make light work and it will be necessary to weed and water the garden at least 3 times a week.
Please check what month and week works best for you. Weeks run from Sunday to Saturday. I will be holding an informational meeting in May. Please sign up for two weeks so I can give you the best option of a week you want.

Here is your Mustang Minute from our principals: https://www.smore.com/2gbh6 Have a great spring break, Mustangs!
Did you hear about our 3rd Grade Market Day?! The third grade students had learned about producers, consumers and entrepreneurship by starting their own businesses! It was been pretty exciting for them. The culmination of all their hard work was at the very first Brookwood Elementary Market Day. Third graders invited teachers, students and staff to shop and purchase their amazing hand made products. Check out all the fun!
Bingo form due date is quickly approaching! BFO Bingo night is Friday, April 8th and the due date for forms is Monday, April 4th. With spring break next week that only leaves a few days to send your forms to school. Also, be on the look out for a volunteer sign up post! Or, if you know you’d like to volunteer to help on Bingo Night, feel free to email brookwoodfamily19@gmail.com
On Saturday, March 5th, several Brookwood Middle School music students participated in the Wisconsin School Music Association district solo ensemble contest. Students prepared a solo and performed in front of a judge for feedback. This is the first year that the contest was offered in person since Covid. Four students participated in class C solos: Ryder Derickson on the drum set, Peyton Kolnick on the bells, and performing alto solos were Talulah Nast and Analia Flores. Myles Derickson performed a class A guitar solo and will advance to the state solo ensemble contest to be held in April. Congratulations to these students!
