HELP! On October 14th, which is scheduled to be a staff professional development day, our district staff will be involved in a poverty simulation. The poverty simulation is ran by the UW-Extension and aims to dispel myths of poverty and increase empathy and understanding. For a successful, meaningful simulation, we are still in need of 10 volunteers to pretend and play the roles of community members such as a community health care doctor, and employer, super-center clerk, child care provider, quick cash employee, pawn broker...etc.
Adult volunteers would need to arrive at Brookwood Elementary at 8:15 am on October 14th. There will be an introduction and instructions to volunteers at this time. The simulation begins at 9:00 am and concludes following a debriefing at 11:45 am. If you are able and are interested in volunteering (or know someone who is), please contact April Fitzsimmons at april.fitzsimmons@gcj2.k12.wi.us

We are SO excited to have the support we do to ensure our kids at both buildings are safe and learning. Chief Balog from the Genoa City Police Department and Mr. Braden our elementary school principal are both ALICE Certified Trainers and are excited to meet with our students in both buildings to talk more about school safety. They will be using ALICE certified curriculum which is designed to talk with kids about school safety at age appropriate levels. Not only has our staff been ALICE trained and certified but we also recently hosted a free family/community night in regards to ALICE as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Braden directly. #BrookwoodsBest
The BMS girls softball team ended their season on Monday by coming in 4th place in our conference. The girls played well in the tournament, but fell to both Union Grove and Bristol in their first playoff appearance in over 20 years! Coach Mosansky expressed how incredibly proud she was of the team this year! Congrats on a great season, ladies! #BrookwoodsBest *more pictures on Facebook*
