BMS Be Brookwood Students of the Month!
Right before break, we celebrated our incredible Mustangs who were recognized for showing outstanding gratitude throughout November. These students stood out by appreciating others, recognizing kindness, and contributing to a positive school community every day.
We are so proud of their leadership and the example they set for their peers! 💙🤍
As we look ahead, we’re excited to kick off next month’s character trait: Empathy. Our students will be learning how to understand others’ feelings, show compassion, and build stronger connections across our school.
Congratulations again to this month’s winners, keep leading the way, Mustangs.

There is SO much to be thankful for….our students, families, community…and the list goes on and on….
This Thanksgiving season -- and every season-- the Genoa City Joint 2 School District is truly grateful for our amazing staff and their participation in this year’s annual Pie Wars of BES vs. BMS, with BMS winning this year!
Through our staff’s generosity and community spirit, they donated enough funds to provide 38 pies to the Genoa City Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry—helping support our community during the holiday season. Our staff’s kindness reflects the heart of GCJ2 and the difference we can make when we come together.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to Stinebrink's Lake Geneva Piggly Wiggly for partnering with us and helping make this effort possible. Their support plays a meaningful role in helping us serve our community.
To our staff—thank you for your participation, your generosity, and your ongoing commitment to our district and the community we serve.
We are thankful and #MustangProud! Happy Thanksgiving!

Our BES Kindness Squad has been hard at work these past few weeks spreading kindness!
First, our students jumped in to help Mr. Erickson tidy up the school grounds, raking up endless leaves after school, making our school look great.
Next, they poured their hearts into creating and decorating Thanksgiving cards filled with encouraging messages for the meal boxes going out through Loaves and Fishes.
To wrap up the month of November, these amazing students even gave up part of their Saturday to spread cheer at Geneva Manor! They crafted seasonal projects with and for the residents, made decorations to brighten the activity room, and created door décor to bring smiles all season long.
Way to go, Kindness Squad! You are truly making a difference in our community!

As a service project, Mrs. Collins’ advisory collected pop tabs to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Ronald McDonald Houses provide a comforting, home-like place for families with children receiving medical care at nearby hospitals. By saving pop tabs, our students helped raise funds through recycling that directly support these programs and keep the Houses running for families in need.
Thank you to all students and families who donated—and a special thank you to the Sponenburg family for contributing to and delivering our collection to RMHC of Eastern Wisconsin!
2nd and 3rd-grade BES students had a blast diving into all things Disney in the "Magical World of Disney" Adventure Club! Students designed their very own MagicBands and Mickey ears, learned about Walt Disney himself, and explored the history and evolution of Mickey Mouse.
They discovered the incredible world of Disney Imagineers and why their creativity makes the parks so magical! Students even became Hidden Mickey experts—learning the history behind them and taking part in an exciting school-wide Hidden Mickey hunt.
Using real theme park maps, students explored each of the four main Disney Parks and then virtually visited each park to experience the magic firsthand.
It was an unforgettable adventure filled with creativity, curiosity, and plenty of Disney magic!
