Last Day of School
BMS Dismissal: 11:35
BES Dismissal: 12:25
BES Families! Are you ready for our annual summer countdown! Here are the calendar of events for the last 8 days until summer break! We hope you will join in on the fun!
Have you ordered your yearbook yet? They're still available! One yearbook that covers both schools! Order today: yearbookforever.com
Did you know that our 6th graders had Friday off?! Why, you may ask...? On Thursday, our students were able to stay late at Camp Wonderland to enjoy a night hike, take part in the traditional campfire with roasting marshmallows, and enjoy the great outdoors until 9pm! They had two AWESOME days at camp....and we are sure they've gained some memories they will never forget.
Don't forget about the BFO Reading Competition!! https://youtu.be/bhth8VUHQeY
How does it work? This will be an individual competition by grade level. It is all based on the number of minutes read by not only the student but their family members, neighbors, friends outside of our school district, and even distant relatives! We want ALL our students to develop a love of reading for pleasure, for knowledge, and for adventure. We are hoping that this challenge will help to support each student’s personal reading development goal.
Check out the original video from Talya from the BFO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iXFq...

Outdoor education has been a part of Brookwood’s curriculum for over 30 years. Outdoor education is taught at Camp Wonderland in Salem, WI. While at Camp Wonderland students get to learn through activities such as fishing, dissecting owl pellets, hiking through nature, and learning how to build a fire. Students also get to participate in some adventurous activities including boating, rock climbing, ziplining, and archery. Camp is a great experience for our 6th grade students and we are really excited to offer this experience to our students this year —even though it may look a little different from how it’s been done in the past. Check out some of our 6th graders taking on the rock wall!
Brookwood Families, please see the following letter about a program from the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) that has been released in regards to lowering the cost of broadband services and a possible discount toward a device purchase due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic for eligible families.
This program is sponsored through the FCC and application process is open today: https://tinyurl.com/2frbcs9n

Mustangs! We are SO excited to announce that the free breakfast and lunch program has been extended through next school year!! This is due to a waiver received by our Food Service Provider, Lake Geneva Food Service. Lake Geneva Food Service will also be running a summer meal pick up program--pick up locations will be announced at a later date.
Also, the Lake Geneva Food Service will be sending out letters in regards to current lunch balances that were negative prior to the start of the waivers for our food programming started. We understand that paying these balances may be an impossibility due to the economic challenges created by the pandemic but wanted to make sure to let you know these letters will be being sent home.
If you have additional questions, please contact Donna Ecklund Donna.Ecklund@badger.k12.wi.us
