Brookwood Middle School is excited to be celebrating our 4th-7th graders and their character on June 5th. This year, we are inviting students to Sky Zone or Timber Ridge Water Park if they have met Be Brookwood Expectations. Let's have a splashing great time jumping and tumbling or floating on the lazy river. Remember to Be safe, Be Kind, Be Respectful and Responsible, and Beeeeee Brookwood!

Last night, BES Kindness Squad presented to the school board and community members the many service projects they have completed this year. Kindness Squad members were then recognized for all of their service hours they have done both in the school and within the community. Way to go, Kindness Squad!!
Sixth grade students are learning about how clouds and convection currents work. It has been a perfect season to study weather and storms!
Last week, our 1st graders took their field trip to Veterans Park and the Badger High School greenhouses! The students had a lot of fun playing together at the park and then learning from high schoolers about how to care for plants. Our students even had a chance to plant their own flower! This was a great way to finish their unit learning all about plants!

BES Mustangs' Summer Countdown Calendar!!
Congratulations, Bella! Bella guessed the closest date and time for when the first chick would "pip" at BES. Pipping is when the chick first cracks a breathing hole in the egg shell prior to coming out. As of right now, there are 3 chicks and a duck for the scientists to observe before they go to their forever coops/pens.
BES Kindness Squad is very excited about their last service project of the year! They have set their minds to preparing and running a donation drive for the Lakeland Animal Shelter. Kindness Squad needs the help of our Brookwood families, friends and the community to make their donation drive a success. Here is a video they have helped to prepare to get the word out about Lakeland Animal Shelter and their donation drive that runs from May 15 - May 29th! Following the donation drive, they will be hand delivering the donations to the shelter and providing some hands-on service work while at the shelter.

The kindergarteners and first graders have been learning about The Wild Symphony this semester. For the Busy Beetles, which depicts beetles building houses, the students built cup towers while the music played. This was an idea suggested by one of the first graders. The students cooperated in groups to silently build their towers and showcased great teamwork!
First Grade did a fun writing review week of writing detailed steps on how to make different kinds of food. They started with how to make a PB&J sandwich. The classes even got to teach their teacher how to make a PB&J, which was a fun hands-on experience. Then they wrote sentences about how to make a pizza and created their own pizza. On Friday, they finished off with writing steps on how to make a smore.
Way to work hard, Mustangs!
Our staff includes our amazing bus drivers too!! We are so glad they were able to wear their bus driver appreciation shirts we got them and showcase them as a team for staff appreciation week. Our Brookwood Family is THE best!!!
7th & 8th grade students in Life Skills class had another guest career speaker, our very own Mr. Dennis! Before becoming Broodwood's 7th grade math teacher, Mr. Dennis was a microbiologist. Students learned how his interest in science during high school turned into pursuing a college degree in biology and chemistry. Mr. Dennis shared that he enjoyed how he was able to directly apply his college education to his work in a lab testing microorganisms. Students asked questions and also reflected on how this career would interest them or impact their future career choices.
Thank you ALL for your continued support in our schools. We are so thankful for all of the outpouring of support and love our staff received this week during staff appreciation week. We hands down have THE best staff around and we appreciate their work and dedication to all things Brookwood everyday!!
