Our BES students will be kicking off this year’s Kids Heart Challenge! Alongside this year’s heart heroes, they will be learning about healthy hearts and life lessons like getting active, asking for help, resting well and being kind.
At this years' kickoff, on Monday at BES, Ms. Lisa from the American Heart Association will be joining us as well. She will be raffling off some really awesome items to students who have already registered or completed Finn's Mission!
BONUS: your student will get a free wristband for joining at http://www2.heart.org/goto/BrookwoodElementarySchoolGenoaCityWI1 or using the AHA Schools app. The Kids Heart Challenge will be running through February 16th, 2024.

What a beautiful winter day for a trip to the forest! Our 4K - 4th grade naturalists were able to spend almost 2 hours snow shoeing, bushwhacking (exploring the forest off trail), learning
about ice fishing, and touching mounted North American forest animals. Forts were made, snowmen were camouflaged, trees were climbed, bears were stroked, and smiles were everywhere. After hot chocolate and granola bar snacks at the warming station, the milk jugs to be used as luminaries for the night hike were decorated and bagged. Their adventure in the school forest had a little something for everyone, especially fun! We hope to see you at the school forest for the family night hike on Saturday, February 3rd for 4-8 pm.
We loved seeing all the Brookwood Blues today!!! Let’s keep celebrating our Mustang Monday’s!!! Classes are pulled randomly —-so stay on your toes every Monday!! Some Monday’s will be Mustang Monday’s and some will be Brookwood Blues! Go Mustangs!

Families are invited to come in and visit various grade level pods where we will host reading strategies for all ages with some of your favorite fictional characters, genres, authors, and topics to support academic strategies you can use at home! As you visit the rooms, make sure you check off your "Bingo" sheet so you can then join in on the mini s'mores snack bar in the cafeteria where you and your family can read "s'more" books together and also
join in on the book exchange!
February 9th from 5pm-730pm
Thank you to all the families that participated in our Family Engagement Team’s Staff Scavenger Hunt. We hope you all had as much fun participating as we did putting it together!! It’s not too late to turn those sheets in if you still have them!! Here’s a few snapshots of some of our prize winners!!!
Enjoy walking the illuminated Tom Holden trail at Memorial Park and school forest. Dress for being outside and go at your own pace, once or multiple times. There will also be a fire warming station and hot cocoa (as long as it lasts!). Come and go as you please, but make sure all children are with an adult. Hope to see you there!
