In guidance class, second grade students have been learning about different career clusters and pathways. Recently, they had the opportunity to do some career research and found some careers they might like to do and some they wouldn't want to do by using, Paws In Jobland.
We’re thrilled to recognize a group of amazing Brookwood Elementary students who each logged over 500 reading steps this school year! Their hard work earned them the High Stepper Award, and we couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, perseverance, and commitment they've shown! We are so proud of our growing readers!

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.

BMS Track and BES Running Club teamed up for a run on what couldn't have been a better day! Way to go runners and families! Way to make us #MustangProud!!
Our first-grade students enjoyed an exciting field trip filled with both learning and fun! The day began with outdoor playtime at Veteran’s Park, where students had a chance to enjoy the fresh air and spend time with friends.
Afterward, they visited Badger High School for a special tour of their greenhouses. Agriculture students served as our guides, teaching the first graders about the planting process. Students learned how seeds are started, how plants are cared for, and how the greenhouse prepares for its annual plant sale. It was a wonderful opportunity to see science in action and connect with older students in our local community who are passionate about agriculture.
This experience perfectly complemented the end of our first-grader's literacy unit on plants, during which students researched a plant of their choice and learned about its basic needs, life cycle, parts, and more!
Brookwood Community Garden is looking for volunteers for summer. Please fill out the form and submit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkuN1mxcVQ0aRBs8UnoCYhfVUE-rtrjTve8NL7KDS-32LXNw/viewform
Any questions can be directed to Mrs. Kanthack maryellen.kanthack@gcj2.k12.wi.us. We are looking forward to another beautiful and productive garden as well as working with friends, old and new, through our community networking!
🌿 4K Family Fun at Seno! 🌿
The 4K outreach event was full of smiles, sunshine, and hands-on nature-based learning at the beautiful Seno K/RLT Conservancy! Families explored the wonders of the outdoors together with engaging activities like worm painting 🎨, sweeping the prairie with nets to discover tiny critters 🦋, and an adventurous scavenger hunt 🔍 that had everyone on the move.
It was a joy to see curiosity bloom and little hands busy with big discoveries. Thank you to all the families who joined us—your enthusiasm made the day unforgettable! 💚
