For the first time this year, the Kindergarteners joined together to perform: https://youtu.be/XV6ZAMJGg0o The melody for "I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee" was composed by Colonel Sandford C. Faulkner. We added an extra verse at the beginning. They practiced a steady beat, and worked on expression. They also sang the song "I'm Growing Up" by Mary Alice Amidon. It has been a pleasure working with the Kindergarteners this year. They have excelled under unusual circumstances; it will be exciting to watch them continue to grow musically.

The Kindness Rocks Project encourages simple acts of kindness in our community. By decorating a rock with an encouraging message, you can brighten someone's day!
Brookwood Elementary art students painted rocks to place in a kindness rock garden in front of their school. The rocks are there for the community to enjoy. If you see a rock that "speaks" to you, you are welcome to take it to brighten your day!
Pictured are Brookwood artists in their Kindness Rocks Project.
Thank you to @HighPrairieLandsapeSupply for donating rocks for our students to continue to build to our #Brookwoodrocks wall. You all ROCK!
In April, students in grades 1st-3rd participated in individual class spelling bees. Here are the top three winners from each classroom. Keep up the great job spelling, elementary students!
The 3rd graders will visit the middle school on Friday to get a sneak peek into the middle school. They will be given a tour, meet the 4/5 teachers (including the related arts teachers), and eat lunch here at the middle school. This is always a pleaser for the students because they get to go through the lunch line with a tray instead of a packaged meal. The great news is that they will not have to worry about locker combinations this year, because we took the lock faces off the lockers.
The Genoa City Jt. 2 School Board recognized Heather Hoerth with a “Children First” Award at tonight’s Board Meeting.
The Children First Awards were started in the fall of 2015 to recognize people who were making an extra effort to support the children in our school and community. The Board recognizes all of the work that Hoerth has done during the COVID-19 Pandemic to support children, families, staff, and community members working through the challenges associated with COVID-19. She has been a champion for consistent mitigation measures, a necessary and trusted resource to administrators and the Board in making COVID-related decisions, and a source of calm and reassurance to families working through countless worrisome situations.
Hoerth’s tireless efforts in going above and beyond her regular duties to support our entire school community during this very challenging time, the Board looks forward to presenting her with a Children First Award.
Congratulations, Heather Hoerth!
