Last week, our 4th graders spent a chilly afternoon at the Seno K/RLT Conservancy in Burlington, WI. They learned about Maple Sugaring and Native American History. The traditions of maple sugaring have long been a part of Wisconsin’s history for many centuries. This program focused on the process of making maple syrup and the rich Native American history behind this tradition. Students also had lessons on tree identification, how to properly tap a maple tree, the process of sap-to-syrup, and traditional sugaring techniques.

8th graders had a great time on their field trip to the 1st Infantry Division from World War I to the Vietnam War Museum. They were able to get to see and walk through military events that they have been learning about and will be learning about throughout the year in Social Studies. What makes this museum unique is that students get the opportunity to be hands on with many of the displays.
CONGRATS to these Mustangs!!!! Help us celebrate them because…(drum roll please) they’re going to the championship round as the #1 seed on Thursday at Raymond! Way to make us #MustangProud!!

This competition pits the top high school automotive technology students against one another in a written and hands on skills competition. The best of the best high school students compete for prizes including tools and technical college scholarships. Eight high schools from SE Wisconsin qualified for the competition with two students representing each school. John and Kaylub placed 4th for Badger, taking home scholarships and tools for both the students and for the automotive program at Badger High School. Way to make us #MustangProud!

6th grade celebrated Pi Day by discovering why when you divide the circumference by the diameter of any circle, you get a number very close to 3.14. They walked three different size circles, counted footsteps and learned how to create decimals from whole number division. Then, they measured other circles using the metric system and discovered the same results.
It was fun to find out that Pi was originally created by the Babylonians and that Archimedes gave the mathematical phenomena its symbol.
Thank you to parents who donated apple pie for them to enjoy!
To get us ready for Peace, Love, and Kindness Day, BMS students spent some time Tie-dyeing t-shirts during their lunch recess. They will wear them on Friday, March 22nd. Let's come together for Kindness and Peace! During Kindness Week, students will also have a chance to write positive messages on the sidewalks, paint rocks for kindness, and clean up around the school grounds.
Thank you for your patience as we worked with our providers in restoring our phones and internet. It has now been fully restored throughout the District.
We will continue to keep our emergency phone lines open until the end of the day today -- along with our main land lines.

Brookwood is celebrating Music In Our Schools Month! At the Middle School, staff was able to share what they sang or played in middle/high school and what their favorite genre or music artist is!
For nearly 40 years, March has been designated as Music In Our Schools Month®. The positive impact of music in the lives of our students lasts a lifetime. Every day in General Music, Band, and Choir, Mrs. Collins and Ms. Bullock dedicate themselves to reaching all students with life-changing musical experiences.
Parents, administrators, and the wider community often only see the wonderful results of music performances; however, miss the months of practice and rehearsals and more importantly the learning process that takes place to make it all happen.
We encourage our community to celebrate music education as an essential part of every student’s educational journey!
Grades 1-4: Green Schools Group: Explore ways to help our natural habitat by improving our classrooms, schools, and community.
Wednesday from 3:30-4:30
March 13 & 20
April 3,10,17, & 24
May 1,8,15,22,& 29
For more information, please contact Mrs. Bobula: Melissa.Bobula@gcj2.k12.wi.us
March is Youth Art Month! It is a national and annual celebration of student art. Started in 1961 through The Art & Creative Materials Institute, Inc., Youth Art Month exists to recognize art education as a viable factor in the total education curriculum that develops citizens of a global society and to recognize art as a necessity for the full development of better quality of life for all. Please join us in celebrating all our Mustang artists. Here are some photos of some of the work done by our middle school students.
See you at tonight’s 7/8 Band & 6/7/8 Choir Concert @BMS 6:30PM
The last Science on Saturday was spent exploring the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest in Far North Queensland, AU, vicariously through Mrs. Kanthack's experiences with her underwater videos and photos. Students also heard an Aboriginal Dreaming Time story about the Blue Fairy Wren and practiced dot painting art common with native cultures there. They learned about how what we do to water in the United States affects reefs all over the world and how important cutting down the use of plastics, because of microparticles entering our water systems, can be to preserve ecosystems. Fact: The Great Barrier Reef is as large as California and currently 1/3 of the coral has bleached (died) due to ocean warming. This reef protects the land and is home to billions of dependent critters! Mrs. Kanthack's saltwater aquarium and tidal pool tank provided by Mr. Derickson really helped their understanding of the impact of algae and bleaching.
Thank you to all those that made it out to our Science on Saturday sessions!
Thank you for your understanding and patience during our outage. The phones and internet have been restored in both buildings. We will be keeping our emergency phone lines on until the end of the day.
