For your weekend enjoyment! Our Family Engagement Team is excited to share with our Brookwood Families and our community members a digital read aloud series where our team and staff members will be reading books aloud to you and your families while sharing effective reading strategies and activities for you to engage in at home with not only our books we are sharing with you but also your own personal books, books from our local library, our school libraries, or even books bought from the store. We hope you enjoy this activity and find ways to implement these strategies and games at home with your loved ones.

The Brookwood Family Organization is excited to announce our end of the year reading competition! This will be an individual competition by grade level. It is all based on the number of minutes read by not only the student but their family members, neighbors, friends outside of our school district, and even distant relatives! We want ALL our students to develop a love of reading for pleasure, for knowledge, and for adventure. We are hoping that this challenge will help to support each student’s personal reading development goal.

April was School Library Month, and we celebrated a couple of ways here at Brookwood: with library-themed jokes on Friday announcements, and with a bookmark decorating contest! Bookmarks had to be related to reading or books in some way. We had over 60 entries between the two schools, and here are our winners. Thank you to all of our artists who submitted a bookmark and everybody else for voting for your favorites! Happy reading, Mustangs!"
