Attention! Attention! We are SO excited to be able to share new staff features with you all.
Please give a warm Brookwood welcome to Ms. Stolzman and Ms. Burgeson!! They may look familiar to many of you because we were fortunate to have them both as student teachers since the beginning of the school year. Now, Ms. Stolzman is joining our team as a daily sub in both buildings and Ms. Burgeson is our long-term substitute in our elementary school's special education department. We are SO lucky to have such committed professionals continue to Grow into Greatness with our Brookwood Family.

Participate in learning all aspects of gardening, growing produce, houseplants and propagating plants. Come and find out how to grow native plants in your yard to promote pollinators. Come and help plan the 2024 garden.
Garden Club starts on February 28th from 2:45-3:30, for grades 4-8 , and meets every week. As spring progresses, we may extend our meeting times (TBA).
Looking forward to seeing you!

This week, 7th and 8th graders in Life Skills Class got to listen to a guest career speaker, Christy Feller. Mrs. Feller is an athletic trainer. She spoke with the students about the personal attributes, skills, and training related to becoming an athletic trainer.

Students were able to ask questions and reflect on what they learned about this growing career field.

Our young scientists tested water quality during the Science on Saturday program! Water was collected from various places around the school, Nippersink Creek, and snow banks. After
testing these samples, the scientists swept a section of the parking lot, added water to dissolve any chemicals in what was collected, and then tested it. Hint...the salt was off the charts! When the snow-ice melts, the salt is left behind to wash into the drain. This water is never filtered and eventually makes its way to the creek. The scientists brain-stormed ways to improve this for
the environment then made t-shirts supporting water conservation.
Our last session is on Saturday, February 24th from 10-11:30am at Brookwood Middle School - door 5

Thanks to the Village of Genoa City, Brookwood students, and volunteers -- the 1st Annual School Forest Night Hike was a success! Families and individuals enjoyed the forest slightly lit up by recycled luminaries that were decorated by the students. At the end of the hike -- on the Tom Holden Trail was hot cocoa, snacks, and a warm fire! A few families took advantage of the park's playground as well! The forest was beautiful and the company was even better! We hope to see more people next year!
