Welcome to the Mustang Family! Dan Farrell -- BMS Cleaner --Genoa City Jt. 2 School District.
Please help us welcome Dan Farrell to our Brookwood staff! Dan moved from Kenosha to Pell Lake about a year ago. He's really excited about the community, fishing in Pell Lake, and this new opportunity at Brookwood! He's really enjoying how welcoming the staff is and how fun the kids have been to work with. Dan has 2 adult children, Abby (27) & Zach (25). His youngest just moved out last year, so Dan is officially an empty-nester. When he's not working, Dan enjoys music-some country, but mostly classic rock and metal. He likes watching football and baseball and doesn't follow any one team-he has lots of favorites. In fact, he cheers for both the Bears and Packers, so this next game should be loud! He enjoys the Cubs and has been down to Wrigley Field. He's always surprised to run into someone that he knows while visiting Chicago.

The 5th and 6th graders will travel to the College of Lake County on Tuesday, October 27, to attend a live musical performance titled Earth to Kenzie. This 45-minute operetta is sung in English. In music class, students will learn about singing/vocal ranges, instruments, storyline, and being a good audience member, among other aspects of the performance.
The trip is partially sponsored by the Lake Geneva Chapter of the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Last week, our 7th and 8th graders had an exciting opportunity to explore careers in the skilled trades at the Build My Future field trip! Students experienced hands-on activities, interacted with
industry professionals, and learned about career pathways in
fields like construction and the trades. Experiences like this help
students discover interests, connect classroom learning to the
real world, and begin imagining possibilities for their futures. You
never know what experience might spark a student's future
career! See more pictures and videos from this experience here:
