It's time again to sign up for our Community Garden! If you are interested in providing produce to our local food pantry, for your own table, and to learn more about veg gardening, please join us! Our communal Community Garden is located behind BMS and serves as a teaching garden as well as a way to educate about agricultural science and raising awareness of pollinators, providing produce and flowers to our community, both at school and out of school. Anyone is welcome. Give a week of your time to help water and weed, spread mulch, and help out, and you are welcome to harvest what you need all summer. Just fill out the form and/or contact me with questions. I can be reached until June 8th at my school email and then at mekanthack3@gmail.com

Third-grade students recently wrapped up their final reading and writing unit by becoming experts on marine animals! 🌊🐠

Over the course of six weeks, students researched their animal’s adaptations, habitat, food web, classification, and many other fascinating facts. To celebrate all of their hard work, students created either trading cards or detailed aquarium diagrams and their own kahoot quiz to showcase what they learned.

Every project turned out amazing, and students had an absolute blast diving into the world of marine life! We are so proud of their creativity, research skills, and dedication throughout this unit. 🐙🦈🐢

BES is still looking for about 6-8 field day volunteers for both Morning and Afternoon times on Thursday, June 4th.

This past week, BES enjoyed a beautiful day at their all-school field trip to Green Meadows Petting Farm!

It looks like the nearly 500 photos our staff captured throughout the day are making social media a little unhappy, as it won’t allow us to upload them all on any of the platforms. Please click the link below to view and enjoy all the pictures our staff took on the field trip to share with you!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to chaperone, and a special thank you to our amazing staff for making this end-of-the-year field trip such a fun and memorable experience for our students!

3rd Grade Kindness Squad students voted to end their year with doing community service hours at the Lakeland Animal Shelter. They will be taking in all the donations from the animal shelter donation drive going on now and helping shelter workers with cleaning the cat rooms and other jobs that help all animals on May 26th.

In Guidance Class, 4K students are learning about careers. Last week, after they learned all about construction workers and tools construction workers use, they got to create their own houses.

Greetings, Brookwood Families!
We are excited to once again offer our school supply program, Brookwood Bundles. The teachers have thoughtfully prepared a school supply list for the 2025-2026 school year, and we are pleased to offer an opportunity to purchase these supplies right here from your school!

The grade level supplies will be gathered into convenient and hassle-free bundles. They will include all of the supplies needed for the school year and will be ready and waiting for your child in their classroom on Open House Night in August. There is no need to brave the busy stores and worry if you’ll find all of the items on the list. Our team will take care of all the details so that you may enjoy your precious summer days!

The end of the school year is fast approaching, and schedules are filling up quickly. Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to consider this opportunity. Each bundle purchased will help support our Families in Need school supply program.

If you are in need of another form for Brookwood Bundles or Families in Need, the forms are available at both front offices.

Thank you for your continued support in our schools!

3rd grade families are invited to a special celebration on June 5 at 10:30 AM at BES as we honor and celebrate all that our 3rd graders have accomplished during their time at Brookwood Elementary! We are so proud of their growth, hard work, friendships, and memories made along the way. We hope you can join us for this special time together as we celebrate our amazing students!

Market Day is an exciting hands-on learning experience for our 3rd graders! As part of our studies on producers and consumers, as well as saving and spending, students create their very own businesses featuring handmade products. Along the way, they learn about entrepreneurship, supply and demand, budgeting, marketing, and production.

We are excited to invite 3rd grade families to join us on Market Day to shop on May 29 at 2:45pm, support our young entrepreneurs, and celebrate all of their hard work and creativity!

BES lost & found is growing. Do you see anything that is your child’s? 👀

Here is your BES Mustang Morning Show! Enjoy!

BES Kindness Squad is preparing for their final community service activity of the year, and they are asking for your help! This month, Kindness Squad will be heading to Lakeland Animal Shelter to help with spring cleaning in the cat rooms and assist in caring for the hundreds of cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs waiting for their forever homes. Our students are also hoping to collect supplies to bring along to support the shelter staff and help care for the homeless animals. Every donation, big or small, will make a difference for these animals in need!

Thank you for helping our students continue spreading kindness throughout the community!

Donation Drive: May 11-22 // Drop off donation to Brookwood Elementary School

💙 Our BES Kindness Squad worked hard to make sure our teachers and staff knew just how loved and appreciated they are!
Kindness Squad students created thoughtful appreciation cards for teachers and did a fantastic job planning and putting together a breakfast buffet for staff. The students also came up with the idea to hold a special teacher raffle, offering their own services as prizes, including teacher assistant, supply squad, clean-up crew, and classroom organizers!
During breakfast, students had the honor of drawing the winning teachers’ names. It was such a fun and meaningful way to celebrate our amazing staff!
A huge thank you to all of the Kindness Squad families who donated breakfast items and helped make this event possible. Your generosity and support are so appreciated! 💙

Brookwood Summer School registration is closing this week! Sign up now before it is too late!
