We are SO excited to announce that all 4K-7th graders will be going home with summer school booklets today!!
Classes are FREE for all students enrolled at Brookwood. ALL classes will be held at the middle school this summer. Students are registered on a first "received" basis -- due to popular demand and limited class sizes -- we enroll students as forms are turned into the offices. Forms should be turned into your child's homeroom teacher with the building they attend so they can get them submitted to the office in a timely and orderly fashion.

BMS Spring Music Festival Concert: All BMS general music, band, and choir students. 5/15 @6pm @BMS
What’s the best way to celebrate our girls and boys volleyball teams…..? By having an end of the day assembly with a student versus staff game!!!! Any guesses on who won?! Regardless….it was a great way to end the day and celebrate both teams.
This is an informational night for current students and families of students currently in 6th and 7th grade.
More information will be coming out next week, but mark your calendars to find more out about this exciting trip for our current 6th and 7th grade students.

On Thursday, April 25, the Village Garden Club of Genoa City will present the 4th graders with the saplings and discuss history, planting and care with them. Annually, the DNR provides approximately 50,000 free tree seedlings to fourth-grade students throughout the state. Seedlings come protected to keep backpacks clean and shipments include educational information on how to best plant and care for seedlings and trees.
We are SO thankful for all of our community partners!

Let’s send good vibes to these Brookwood students that are on the Power Force Athletics team because they are headed to the All-Star World Cheerleading competition in Orlando, Florida: Arianna, Brynlee, and Ayla!!! At this competition, they will be able to compete against the best of the best. All Star Cheer differs from traditional cheer in that its primary purpose is competition, and THIS is THE pinnacle competition.
Arianna has been an All Star Cheerleader since she was 3 years old. She is on two teams - the a senior level 4 and the junior level 4! Both of her teams have made into the Worlds!
Ayla joined Power Force Athletics 3 years ago as a competitive cheerleader and this will be her 3rd year competing at the Worlds! This year, Ayla’s team: Celebrities has made it to the Worlds. On top of competitive cheer, she is also on the Power Force Athletics competitive tumble team and will be headed to the State Level next week.
Brynlee has been competing in All Star Cheer since she was 5 years old. Her team, Brynlee, and her teammates have been working all season toward this goal. Brynlee participates on a senior level 4, and a junior level 4 cheer team; both of which will be competing against other teams from around the country.
We are SO #MustangProud of you all and wish you good luck!!!
Spring is in the air and our BMS Student Council has been busy planning the Spring Fun Night for 4th and 5th graders as well as our Spring Dance for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. April 26th will be a great night with fresh spring dance moves and fun-filled activities. Please take a look at the attached flyers for more details. Students are expected to return their permission slips to attend the activities.
Here is the most updated BMS 6th-8th grade track and field calendar -- please see the correct times on this calendar for tomorrow's practice. Go Mustangs!
Our 7th and 8th graders have an opportunity to be a part of the elective class: Entrepreneurship which gives students a taste of what it is like to run their own business. They work in groups to study the demographics of a market, develop product ideas, make a plan and present it for approval to staff members. The entrepreneurs then bring their item(s) to market by creating and selling their products to students and staff. The sale is an exciting day and we are excited to announce that special day is tomorrow!
Items for sale range in price from $1-$2. BMS students wanting to purchase in this sale will be given the opportunity by their teachers to visit the sale at varying times on April 12th.
Proceeds from this sale will be put into the student activities fund that helps to support activities and events for all students at both schools.
Hurry and get your seats before the show starts at 6 at the middle school! Thank you to the Brookwood PTO for this fun free family event tonight!! Here are a couple of pictures from this afternoons show that was put on for our students at our elementary school.
In the 7th/8th grade elective course: arduino programming, students build a variety of circuit while also writing the program's function with the circuit. Each circuit and program perform a specific function, everything from lighting up LED lights, to controlling servos, to playing different sounds, and displaying information on a lcd screen. Students need to pay close attention to the program they write because a single error will cause the entire program to not function. Arduino programming is typically a class taught at the high school level, but the class is available to Brookwood students who have successfully completed the learn to code programming class.

Don’t forget that some Monday’s are Mustang Monday’s and some Monday’s you show your Brookwood Blues…it’s all random on which Monday is what and who is pulled and not….but overall we love seeing your Mustang Pride.
The 7th and 8th grade World Music class "traveled" to Japan before spring break! In this unit, they learned about different musical styles, theater and instrument, including taiko drums. They even got to make their own den den daiko, the small rattle-like drum shown below.
