Congratulations to all of our BES Be Brookwood September winners! 🎉
Each month, BES celebrates students and classrooms who go above and beyond to show what it means to Be Brookwood! Our staff members nominate students by giving out brookwood tickets when they see them demonstrating one of our core expectations: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Responsible.
Each classroom has one student selected as a Be Brookwood Winner of the Month, and one classroom is also recognized as our Be Brookwood Class of the Month! Students then get to pick a meaningful prize and experience with a staff member at school and the Class of the Month gets to keep the Mustang trophy and banner for the month!
We are so proud of these students and this class for making Brookwood a kinder, safer, and more responsible place to learn and grow. Keep showing us what it means to Be Brookwood!

Earlier this week, we posted about some amazing work our Kindergarteners are doing... here are some more pictures! Enjoy!
To wrap up their unit on two-dimensional shapes, Mrs. Deephouse’s class and Miss Flood’s kindergarten classes were busy creating!
The chefs in Mrs. Deephouse’s class cooked up some delicious shape pizzas, while the illustrators in Miss Flood’s class created their own Shape Worlds using the shapes they learned about during their first math unit.
What a fun and creative way to show off their learning!

BES Special Visit: Bloomfield Genoa City Fire & Rescue! 🚒✨
Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, October 7th, our local heroes from the Bloomfield Genoa City Fire & Rescue team will be visiting our school! Students will get an exciting, hands-on look at fire safety, learn about emergency response, and even get a close-up view of the fire trucks and equipment. It’s going to be an engaging and educational day as our students discover what it takes to keep our community safe. This event is always a hit with our students, so be sure to ask them that evening what they got to learn and see.

Thanks from Mr. Ringsby! Some BES students come early in the morning to help us get ready for the day. 1 of our 5K students helped Mr. Erickson put up our new flag; the previous one had gotten a little worn. Later this student's younger sister was 1 of the students who got to say the Pledge of Allegiance during morning announcements!

Students had the day off today, but our staff was hard at work learning together! 📚
We dug deeper into how to use classroom evidence and student work to understand what students need, give useful feedback, and adjust instruction. We also explored positive psychology and practical ways to support well-being and connection at school.
Members of our own staff members led an important conversation about the danger of labels and how we can better see and support each student as an individual.
Days like today give our team time to reflect, share ideas, and bring new strategies back to our classrooms. We’re looking forward to seeing our students again tomorrow! 💙
Last week, our 4K had a wonderful day at the farm!
4K had such a fun-filled day enjoying all the sights, sounds, and activities of the farm! They had a great time taking a tractor ride around the farm and picking out pumpkins and gourds, enjoying a delicious apple cider donut, and soaking up all the beautiful fall weather.
The fun continued with time on the playground, climbing and playing on the hay bales. There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and special moments shared throughout the day.
We are so thankful for days like today that give us the opportunity to get out, explore, make memories, and enjoy the simple joys of the season together!
Thank you, Pearce's Farm Stand, for a fun-filled day!
