Genoa City Joint 2 School District

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!

Don't worry—none of you will have to run the pacer test, complete any pull-ups, or square dance! But you might need to sweat just a little bit as you play, laugh, and move alongside your student.

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

BMS Brookwood News: https://youtu.be/DzkNxdOYJMQ

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.

Thank you for supporting our student journalists!

BES Special Visit: Bloomfield Genoa City Fire & Rescue! 🚒✨

Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, October 7th, our local heroes from the Bloomfield Genoa City Fire & Rescue team will be visiting our school! Students will get an exciting, hands-on look at fire safety, learn about emergency response, and even get a close-up view of the fire trucks and equipment. It’s going to be an engaging and educational day as our students discover what it takes to keep our community safe. This event is always a hit with our students, so be sure to ask them that evening what they got to learn and see.

☕️ Café Day in ELA! 📚

Our 6th-grade ELA students in Mrs. Brockway's class got to celebrate all their hard work with a fun Café Day! Students chose their favorite drinks and treats from their classroom menu, enjoyed some time together, and put their Greek mythology knowledge to the test with a few fun games.

Way to work hard, Mustangs!
