This Friday, our 3rd graders will be venturing up to the middle school to work alongside the 4th graders for the day! Students will come to the middle school from 9:30am to 12:00pm. They will engage in a series of culture building activities, work together in classrooms, and once again eat lunch and go to recess with the current 4th graders. Making sure our Mustangs have a smooth transition from 3rd to 4th grade is a HUGE priority. Getting the lay of the land and building relationships early on is key to making this happen. We are so excited to welcome them into our BMS community!

School nutrition employees must balance many roles and follow numerous federal, state and local regulations to ensure safe and healthy meals are available in schools. School Lunch Hero Day provides the opportunity for the community to thank these hard-working heroes. Federal nutrition standards ensure that school cafeterias always offer low-fat or fat-free milk, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. School meals also meet limits on calories, sodium and unhealthy fats. The importance and nutritional value of school meals are well documented. For many children, school lunch is the most important and nutrient-rich meal of their day.
Nutritious meals at school are an essential part of the school day. The staff of the Lake Geneva Schools food service team are committed to providing healthful, nutritious meals to the District’s children; and the men and women who prepare and serve school meals help nurture our children through their daily interaction and support.
Lake Geneva Schools and GCJ2 expresses its deep appreciation to these valuable employees and commends their good work on behalf of children.
Thank you, PTO, for celebrating our amazing staff!!

We are excited to once again offer our school supply program, Brookwood Bundles. The teachers have thoughtfully prepared a school supply list for the 2023-2024 school year, and we are pleased to offer an opportunity to purchase these supplies right here from your school!
The grade level supplies will be gathered into convenient and hassle-free bundles. They will include all of the supplies needed for the school year and will be ready and waiting for your child in their classroom on Open House Night in August. There is no need to brave the busy stores and worry if you’ll find all of the items on the list. Our team will take care of all the details so that you may enjoy your precious summer days!
The end of the school year is fast approaching and schedules are filling up quickly. Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to consider this opportunity. Each bundle purchased will help support our Families in Need school supply program. Thank you for your support!
