Congratulations to all of our BES Be Brookwood September winners! 🎉
Each month, BES celebrates students and classrooms who go above and beyond to show what it means to Be Brookwood! Our staff members nominate students by giving out brookwood tickets when they see them demonstrating one of our core expectations: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Responsible.
Each classroom has one student selected as a Be Brookwood Winner of the Month, and one classroom is also recognized as our Be Brookwood Class of the Month! Students then get to pick a meaningful prize and experience with a staff member at school and the Class of the Month gets to keep the Mustang trophy and banner for the month!
We are so proud of these students and this class for making Brookwood a kinder, safer, and more responsible place to learn and grow. Keep showing us what it means to Be Brookwood!

Earlier this week, we posted about some amazing work our Kindergarteners are doing... here are some more pictures! Enjoy!
To wrap up their unit on two-dimensional shapes, Mrs. Deephouse’s class and Miss Flood’s kindergarten classes were busy creating!
The chefs in Mrs. Deephouse’s class cooked up some delicious shape pizzas, while the illustrators in Miss Flood’s class created their own Shape Worlds using the shapes they learned about during their first math unit.
What a fun and creative way to show off their learning!

P.E. Family Day - Oct. 20 & 21
Join Us for Family Gym Days with Mr. Gonzalez! 👟🏀
Calling all families! You're invited to step onto the gymnasium floor and join your child for some fun active time with Mr. Gonzalez on Tuesday, October 20th and Wednesday, October 21st!

Grab your sneakers, bring your energy, and come see what gym class is all about!

Brookwood News is created by our Brookwood Middle School students— from start to finish. Students research stories, write scripts, film segments, and edit each episode as part of their learning experience.
While topics may include current events or health-related information, the perspectives and messaging shared are developed by students as part of classroom discussion and media literacy work. These broadcasts are intended to showcase student creativity and critical thinking, not official district statements.
