Brookwood Middle School

Brookwood is going blue!!! Students are invited to wear blue on Friday, November 19th to show their support for Diabetes Awareness. Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose, a sugar that is the body's main source of fuel. Your body needs glucose to keep running. There are two major types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas can't make insulin. The body can still get glucose from food but the glucose can't get into the cells where it's needed. Glucose stays in the blood, which makes the blood sugar level very high and causes health problems. To fix the problem, someone with type 1 diabetes needs to take insulin. Type 2 diabetes is different from type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas still makes insulin, but the insulin doesn't work in the body like it should and blood sugar levels get too high. Scientists are looking for ways to make it easier to check blood sugar levels and give insulin. They're also trying to find ways to get insulin into the body without shots. And there's hope that one day a cure will be found. Even though kids with diabetes have to do some special things, it doesn't keep them from doing the stuff they love. They can still play sports, go out with their friends, and go on trips. So if you have a friend with diabetes, let him or her know you can deal with it. Being friends is all about having fun together, not having a perfect pancreas!

Don't forget to get some pizza tonight from Domino's!! Our BFO is holding a fundraiser in honor of our Veteran's! A portion of every purchase will be donated to our BFO who then in turn is donating the funds to our local Genoa City American Legion Post 183 in honor of Veterans Day. Don't forget to mention you're ordering for the Brookwood Fundraiser when ordering so we get credit for the purchase!

Our elementary students did an awesome job making cards for them. Thank you to ALL Veterans for your service.
