BMS Be Brookwood Students of the Month!
Right before break, we celebrated our incredible Mustangs who were recognized for showing outstanding gratitude throughout November. These students stood out by appreciating others, recognizing kindness, and contributing to a positive school community every day.
We are so proud of their leadership and the example they set for their peers! 💙🤍
As we look ahead, we’re excited to kick off next month’s character trait: Empathy. Our students will be learning how to understand others’ feelings, show compassion, and build stronger connections across our school.
Congratulations again to this month’s winners, keep leading the way, Mustangs.

There is SO much to be thankful for….our students, families, community…and the list goes on and on….
This Thanksgiving season -- and every season-- the Genoa City Joint 2 School District is truly grateful for our amazing staff and their participation in this year’s annual Pie Wars of BES vs. BMS, with BMS winning this year!
Through our staff’s generosity and community spirit, they donated enough funds to provide 38 pies to the Genoa City Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry—helping support our community during the holiday season. Our staff’s kindness reflects the heart of GCJ2 and the difference we can make when we come together.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to Stinebrink's Lake Geneva Piggly Wiggly for partnering with us and helping make this effort possible. Their support plays a meaningful role in helping us serve our community.
To our staff—thank you for your participation, your generosity, and your ongoing commitment to our district and the community we serve.
We are thankful and #MustangProud! Happy Thanksgiving!

As a service project, Mrs. Collins’ advisory collected pop tabs to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Ronald McDonald Houses provide a comforting, home-like place for families with children receiving medical care at nearby hospitals. By saving pop tabs, our students helped raise funds through recycling that directly support these programs and keep the Houses running for families in need.
Thank you to all students and families who donated—and a special thank you to the Sponenburg family for contributing to and delivering our collection to RMHC of Eastern Wisconsin!
Please give a warm welcome to our newest staff member....Sam Bardales. You will see Mr. Bardales at our middle school -- as he is student teaching with our 6th grade team! Welcome to the Brookwood Family!

Students in Mrs. Erickson's 5th-grade math class played a fun dice game to practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. The game is called Shut the Box and they loved playing it as a warm-up to the math lesson.
