It's time again to sign up for our Community Garden! If you are interested in providing produce to our local food pantry, for your own table, and to learn more about veg gardening, please join us! Our communal Community Garden is located behind BMS and serves as a teaching garden as well as a way to educate about agricultural science and raising awareness of pollinators, providing produce and flowers to our community, both at school and out of school. Anyone is welcome. Give a week of your time to help water and weed, spread mulch, and help out, and you are welcome to harvest what you need all summer. Just fill out the form and/or contact me with questions. I can be reached until June 8th at my school email and then at mekanthack3@gmail.com

Yearbook: Mustangs Don't Quit Image
7th grade ELA students took advantage of the beautiful weather today by bringing their creative writing outdoors. As part of their current creative writing unit, students focused on developing strong setting and imagery by paying close attention to the world around them, what they could see, hear, smell, and feel in nature. Using the outdoors as inspiration, students worked to create vivid descriptions that help bring their writing to life.

Mass x Acceleration + a TON of fun! Eighth-grade scientists demonstrated the concepts of forces-motion-Newton's third law as they created elastic collisions using body balls! The
discussion about mass, acceleration, inelastic/elastic collisions, inertia, momentum, etc. was done as it was witnessed live. Plus it was way more fun! Up next, egg drop!

Greetings, Brookwood Families!
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. Each bundle purchased will help support our Families in Need school supply program.

If you are in need of another form for Brookwood Bundles or Families in Need, the forms are available at both front offices.

Thank you for your continued support in our schools!

Brookwood Bundle Information
8th-grade scientists engineered and tested different designs that demonstrate concepts of forces and motion. Different teams focused on speed, velocity, distance, mass, etc. using materials found in the classroom. Later, they will apply this information to using body balls and building egg drop contraptions!

With this week’s teacher appreciation theme being Survivor, did you guess which staff member picked to be on team blue or team white…. We always have families asking how they can give back and help our schools. Sharing our greatness with others is one of the best ways, but another way to help give back is by being a part of our PTO. Whether it’s through donating supplies and/or snacks, or giving up a few minutes to make a flier, share a post, or even giving some time at an event…. It’s all supporting our schools! Contact Brookwood PTO for more information! Thank you, PTO, for an amazing week of appreciation for our staff! Thank you to our community members, businesses, groups, and families for your generosity this past week while we celebrated our staff for staff appreciation week. We are so so so thankful for your support….not just this week, but all the time. We also wanted to give an additional huge shout out and thank you to our staff…a staff that goes above and beyond for ALL of our students. To the best of the best…thank YOU! We appreciate you not just this week…but all the time!!

This week students had a blast during our Literacy Night! Our amazing Genoa City Public Library children’s librarian joined us to read several engaging stories to families. Students received a passport to “Read Around Brookwood” and traveled from classroom to classroom enjoying themed reading activities and yummy snacks along the way. Families had so much fun reading together and exploring all the different book-themed rooms!

Students were also excited to choose free books to take home and add to their own personal libraries. To top off the evening, students entered raffle tickets for a chance to win a handmade basket full of goodies from author Jenna Schroeder. We are thrilled that she will be visiting our school (sponsored by Brookwood PTO) on Monday along with her book Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza!!
