Our favorite “Fancy Gas Station” is supporting Genoa City Schools in a BIG WAY! They are running another generous “PUMP PRIDE” campaign during November! That means that a portion of sales made at pumps 11 & 12 throughout the month at the Genoa City Travel Center will be donated back to the Brookwood students! Coordinated by area realtor and community member, Erin Weber, this fundraiser directly benefits the students through field trips, programming, learning opportunities, and more! Please take a moment to fuel up at the Genoa City Mobil and support local business AND local schools!

Seventh grade wrapped up the “How do chemical reactions help solve a problem?” unit by investigating the chemical reactions in pancakes. Each team was given a different recipe and the results were compared! Cooking, mre’s, glow sticks and handwarmers were other tools that they discussed. What’s next….social studies in quarter 2!

Congratulations to Mrs. Love (aka Maddie Pacholczak) for being nominated and WINNING Geneva Lake’s award of being THE Best Elementary Teacher of Geneva Lake 2025! Thank you to all those who voted and showed YOUR love to our Mrs. Love!!
“I am incredibly honored to receive the Best Teacher Award through Best of Geneva Lake 2025! I truly love where I work and the amazing community that surrounds me each day. Teaching isn’t just my job, it’s my passion. A passion I’ve had since I was a little girl. I love building meaningful relationships with my students and their families, and watching those bonds grow into lifelong connections. Seeing my students learn, laugh, and believe in themselves is what makes every day so rewarding. I’m so grateful to be part of a school that values connection, growth, and the joy of learning.” - Mrs. Love

Last Friday, Miss Gaylord's advisory had a wonderful morning spreading Brookwood spirit with the Fall Snack Cart! Students shared treats, warm smiles, and words of appreciation as they delivered snacks and drinks to staff around the BMS building.
This project gave students the chance to practice teamwork, kindness, and community service.
