Summer School Reminder!

Were you able to attend the Genoa City Public Library's Summer Reading Kick-Off Event? The theme was Unearth a Story, and 21 pieces of art from our 4th-8th graders were on display! Mrs. Garrett was thankful for this very exciting opportunity to work with Ms. Hannah at the library.

We are SO thankful for the collaborative opportunities we have been given to work hand in hand with the Genoa City Public Library!

For 2.5 days, members of the Genoa City J2 School District Guiding Coalition attended the PLC at Work Institute in Madison, where they learned from nationally recognized education leaders including Anthony Muhammad, Luis Cruz, Sarah Schuhl, Tim Brown, and many others. The staff explored research-based strategies to strengthen collaboration, improve instruction, and ensure every student has the support they need to succeed. The district has seen significant growth the last 3 years in literacy and math and hope to continue that trend. Thank you to Solution Tree and the PLC at Work Institute for an outstanding learning experience. We look forward to putting these ideas into action for our students, staff, and community to make our Brookwood Schools successful.

Our Summer School Ping Pong class has been a huge hit! It has been great to see students encourage one another, celebrate successes, and develop a love for this lifelong activity.

Weeks 1 & 2 for Art Camp have been a blast!!!

Are you interested in joining any of our summer school sessions? We still have openings for a variety of classes in Weeks 3 and 4.

In Week 1 of the Under the Sea session for our 4k and 5k students -- they explored ocean animals! They learned about the ocean habitat, sea turtles, octopuses, and fish. Students learned through songs, books, projects, and play!

And that’s a wrap -- for Week 1 of Summer School! The summer school kids in Shakespeare in a Week had a blast performing a short play based on the novel, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. They pulled it all together, sets, props, and acting in just 3 hours of time, and boy was it entertaining! They had it all, love, laughter, and tragedy!

There are still openings for Weeks 2, 3, and 4. Sign up today!!

Our Genoa City summer school students and community partnership with the Genoa City Public Library had the opportunity to learn from a true world-class performer and motivational speaker: David Fisher, better known as The Rope Warrior.

David is far more than an incredible jump rope athlete. He is a multiple-time Guinness World Record holder who has performed around the world, appeared on national television, and shared his message with millions of students. Through his remarkable skills and engaging storytelling, he inspires young people to embrace perseverance, healthy habits, goal setting, and resilience.

During today's event, students were captivated by his amazing jump rope demonstrations while learning an important lesson: success doesn't happen overnight. It is built through practice, determination, and a willingness to keep going when things get difficult.

Thank you, David, for bringing your energy, passion, and positive message to our summer school program. Our students left inspired to challenge themselves, stay active, and never give up.

Thank you, Genoa City Public Library, for running your Storywagon programs at Brookwood Middle School this summer!! All Storywagon programs are FREE and open to the community to attend.

Session 1 of Summer School wrapped up today! Students in Mrs. Erickson's cooking class finished the week by making Nachos! Students learned about meat preparation and safety, diced up some tomatoes, and then prepared their feast! It was a crowd favorite!

The final day of Lightweight Aircraft was more about lightweight boats than it was about planes! Students had to design and build a boat out of tin foil that was able to float and hold cargo (washers). We then tested the boats in our kiddie pool! Our top boat was able to hold 69 washers!

Students in our Forestry class have been exploring the various plants and vegetation found in our school forest, as well as learning about the different types of homes animals create and use for shelter. As part of this class, students even designed and built their own animal homes! Now we're excited to see if any wildlife will decide to move in and make them their own.

Passport to the World – Summer School Adventure
Hola! Buongiorno! Welcome to Passport to the World, where our summer has been filled with hands‑on adventures, global discoveries, and lots of delicious food. So far, our travels have taken us to Mexico and Italy, where we explored new languages, learned fun cultural facts, played games, and created art inspired by each country. We even engineered our own version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, testing our problem‑solving skills and creativity.

One of the class favorites has definitely been the food tasting. In Mexico, we made warm sopapillas and cheesy quesadillas. During our stop in Italy, we cooled off with Italian ice and crafted our own pizzas topped with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and of course a little pepperoni for extra flavor. Every day has been a new adventure, and our passports are filling up fast.

Today, we headed off to France—bon voyage!

Fruit Kabobs to start summer off right! In Cooking with Mrs. Erickson, students learned how to pick ripe fruits and cutting safety. Their reward was building delicious and healthy fruit kabobs to enjoy!!

Working on math skills can be fun-filled! In Math Readiness, students played Shut the Box, a math games that uses addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division!
