No School: September 6, 2021
Students and staff enjoyed a fun-filled day of culture building activities for their first day of school at BMS! The morning began with music and a special greeting from Mighty Mustang himself! Students then spent time in their home rooms engaging in various ice breaker and goal setting activities. The afternoon was filled with three mini assemblies where students enjoyed competing in homeroom vs. homeroom activities such as scooter races, Lightning, Ballon Up, and more! It was a wonderful way for students to (re)acclimate to BMS and be with each other.
The easiest way to say this one is...."Welcome Home, Hunter!" Please help us welcome home, Hunter Aulds who will be doing his student teaching at both our elementary and middle school with Mrs. Bullock in our music department! Here's a little more about Aulds and how his journey has come full circle and why we are welcoming him home:
Aulds is a student teacher from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. His main area of focus is music education with general music and instrumental music, emphasis on strings. He enjoys spending his free time doing anything related to music. He composes, arranges, and even performs. Aulds also enjoys going outside to hike in nature reserves, go hammocking, and spend summer days out on the lake with friends! He grew up in Genoa City and attended Brookwood for all of his schooling from K-8 alongside his twin sister. Aulds is so excited to be a part of the Brookwood family again! He is excited to begin his journey as a student teacher and work with all of the students as they learn the wonders of music and express themselves through the world of music.
Please help us welcome Hunter Aulds home!
We've got a couple more welcomes even though the school year has started...Please help us welcome back Nicole Loire who is our elementary school's special education teacher! Here is a little more about her:
Loire is so excited to be part of the Brookwood family as an educator. She was a long-term sub last year in the special education position and loved it so much that she is grateful to continue her journey as a special education teacher again this year. She officially became a part of the Brookwood family back in 1998 when she moved to the area and her daughter started 1st grade at Brookwood. She has been married for 27 years to her wonderful husband Peter and they now have 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren. She currently has two masters degrees and is working on obtaining a third one in education with specialization of special education. Loire is the mother of three special needs children, so she thinks this gives her a unique position for becoming a special education teacher as she is be able to know both sides of the road so to speak. It had been her dream to be part of the special education system since she saw how much the teachers helped her own children along their educational journeys. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family going on vacations, bowling, park play and water fun trips as well as backyard BBQ's where they are all together.
She is looking forward to seeing all the smiling faces this year as she gets to know them all better. Loire looks forward to being a positive presence in your children's days and helping them to achieve their academic and social skills goals in a positive and fun environment.
Please help us welcome back, Nicole Loire!
