Genoa City Joint 2 School District

Ciao! Today, students in the "Passport to the World" summer school class explored the wonders of Italy. They learned some Italian, created models of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and even found ways to keep it standing straight. Their culinary adventure included making their own pizza and indulging in delightful Italian cream cakes. Delicious! Tomorrow, they continue their journey to France! Interested in joining session 2 of summer school that starts on Monday?! We still have openings! Classes are FREE for all Brookwood students.

In the "Shakespeare in a Week" summer school class, students diligently practiced their lines for their upcoming play, "The Jungle Book." Today was especially exciting as they began crafting their costumes. Can you guess who will be playing Mowgli, Baloo, Shere Khan, Bagheera, or Kaa? They are having so much fun bringing our characters to life! Interested in joining session 2 of summer school that starts on Monday?! We still have openings!

Thank you to our Staff Wellness Committee and High Point- Lake Geneva for kicking off our first day of summer school with some treats and drinks for our staff!! We are so thankful for the community’s support in all things Brookwood. 💙

Today, students in the "A Passport to the World" summer school class embarked on a cultural journey to Mexico. They immersed themselves in Mexican culture, learned some of the language, crafted vibrant sarapes, played the traditional game of Loteria, and cooked (and enjoyed) delicious tortilla chips and cheese quesadillas. It was a day packed with exciting activities! Tomorrow, their passports will be taking them to Italy for another day of exploration and fun!

To celebrate the end of the school year for our 4K students and their families, they celebrated by having an end of the school year 4K Olympics. They had a blast and we can't wait to see them all here in the fall for all day 5K!

Not only are our students celebrated at the end of the year but so are our staff! The end of the year staff luncheon was with great food and great company. It’s a time where we acknowledge milestones with years of service. Congrats to: Mrs. Fonk for 5 years of service, Mrs. Soto, Mr. Dittner, & Mrs. Denecke for 10 years of service, and Ms. Cottrell & Mrs. Collins for 15 years of service. We also celebrated Mrs. Sireno for her retirement and her 24 years of service at Brookwood. We are so thankful for our staff and their dedication towards our schools, students, and community. Happy Summer, Mustangs. #OnceAMustangForeverAMustang
