We are so #MustangProud of all of our incredible spellers who participated in this year’s Brookwood Elementary Spelling Bee! These students showed determination, courage, and a love for learning as they took on the challenge of spelling in front of their peers. Congratulations to all of our spellers for their hard work and outstanding effort. Congrats to our top two spellers: Apollo, who took first, and Jett, who was our runner-up! We celebrate each and every one of you!

First Grade has some EGGciting news to share… their chicks have hatched! 🐣
Over the past three weeks, students have been actively learning about and documenting the egg-hatching process. Eggs were carefully placed in incubators and monitored closely each day. Along the way, students discovered how eggs are candled to determine if they are fertilized, and they eagerly observed the incredible stages of chicks beginning to pip, zip, and finally hatch.
What an amazing opportunity for our students to witness this life cycle firsthand and see these adorable chicks come to life right before their eyes!
A special thank you to Bill Erickson for being such a valuable support to the First Grade students throughout this eggciting experience.

Classrooms at BES can earn Be Brookwood tickets when they demonstrate what it means to Be Brookwood by being kind, safe, and responsible throughout the school day. Tickets can be earned from any staff member who notices classrooms making great choices TOGETHER!

Each month, one classroom is randomly selected as the Be Brookwood Classroom Winner of the Month. The winning class earns the honor of keeping the Mustang Trophy in their classroom for the entire month as a reminder of their positive behavior, teamwork, and school pride.

Keep up the amazing work, Brookwood! 💙

Congrats to Mrs. Himmelspach's 2nd-grade class!

3rd Grade Kindness Squad had been hard at work the last couple weeks to make VIP day a little extra special at BES. These students made flowers out of coffee filters and pipe cleaners, made signs and a big banner, and turned it all into a flower shop for our VIP's to enjoy and take a flower or two during their visit last Thursday as a remembrance of a great day!
