Attention families of Middle Schoolers! Our Spring Conferences are approaching quickly. Take the LEAP on Leap Day and talk with your child's teachers, visit the cafeteria for a treat from the Student Council, and create a Make and Take art project from Mrs. Garrett, the art teacher. Stop in any time from 3:00- 7:00 or schedule an appointment with your child's teacher if you haven't already.

This week, 7th and 8th graders in Life Skills Class got to listen to a guest career speaker, Christy Feller. Mrs. Feller is an athletic trainer. She spoke with the students about the personal attributes, skills, and training related to becoming an athletic trainer. She shared her education and certifications, job experiences, and the benefits and rewards of her career. Students were able to ask questions and reflect on what they learned about this growing career field.

Our young scientists tested water quality during the Science on Saturday program! Water was collected from various places around the school, Nippersink Creek, and snow banks. After testing these samples, the scientists swept a section of the parking lot, added water to dissolve any chemicals in what was collected, and then tested it. Hint...the salt was off the charts! When the snow-ice melts, the salt is left behind to wash into the drain. This water is never filtered and eventually makes its way to the creek. The scientists brain-stormed ways to improve this for the environment then made t-shirts supporting water conservation. Our last session is on Saturday, February 24th from 10-11:30am at Brookwood Middle School - door 5 For more information contact Mrs. Kanthack at MaryEllen.Kanthack@gcj2.k12.wi.us

Thanks to the Village of Genoa City, Brookwood students, and volunteers -- the 1st Annual School Forest Night Hike was a success! Families and individuals enjoyed the forest slightly lit up by recycled luminaries that were decorated by the students. At the end of the hike -- on the Tom Holden Trail was hot cocoa, snacks, and a warm fire! A few families took advantage of the park's playground as well! The forest was beautiful and the company was even better! We hope to see more people next year!

Students in Ms. Mohr's 7th grade social studies class have been learning about the Revolutionary War. Ms. Mohr paired up with Mr. Guth to create an active game in the gym where spies ran across the gym -- trying not to get caught -- so they could deliver a coded message regarding the war. Can you decode the messages?

The District is truly thankful for support of our families and community. Earlier this week, a group of volunteers on the community Readiness Team joined to work as a part of the Design Team on compiling the beginning looks to our Portrait of a Mustang. The work is going to be brought back to the students and staff for feedback and edits to ensure all parties have a say in this work to ensure all Mustangs are career, community,…life ready.
