DPI, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, announced six Wisconsin educators named as finalists for a national award distinguishing science and mathematics teachers for their achievement in teaching these subjects, and Genoa City Joint 2 is proud that MaryEllen Kanthack has been recognized in the science category as one of the six! The 2024 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching is considered the U.S. Government’s highest honor for science and math teachers. Kanthack teaches sixth grade at BMS and credits her students, community and colleagues for her inspiration and the success of her work. Her submission was based on research regarding how scientific argumentation in the classroom builds collaborative work and raises achievement in understanding science concepts, along with examples of many things she has accomplished for Brookwood, the state, and nationally. Congratulations, Mrs. Kanthack! Way to make us #MustangProud!!
This spring the Environmental Education Foundation awarded Brookwood with a grant for $1000 to be used for the school forest and other environmental education programming. Lucas, Avery, and Nolan (members of the Green Schools Club) were there to accept the check and thank the board members for helping the programs in the district. In addition to the grant, Mrs. Freytag is also donating a compost bin to be used for lunch waste. We are grateful for their continued support and look forward to future experiences.

Brookwood Families,
We are excited to once again offer our school supply program, Brookwood Bundles. The teachers have thoughtfully prepared a school supply list for the 2024-2025 school year, and we are pleased to offer an opportunity to purchase these supplies right here from your school!
Forms for this program have been given to students to bring home. If you are in need of another copy, please contact your child’s front office to get another set.
The grade level supplies will be gathered into convenient and hassle-free bundles. They will include all of the supplies needed for the school year and will be ready and waiting for your child in their classroom on Open House Night in August. There is no need to brave the busy stores and worry if you’ll find all of the items on the list. Our team will take care of all the details so that you may enjoy your precious summer days!
The end of the school year is fast approaching and schedules are filling up quickly. Please take a moment out of your busy schedule to consider this opportunity. Each bundle purchased will help support our Families in Need school supply program. Thank you for your support!
*If you are in need of assistance for your child’s Brookwood Bundle, here is more information in regards to support:

We are SO excited to announce that all 4K-7th graders will be going home with summer school booklets today!!
Classes are FREE for all students enrolled at Brookwood. ALL classes will be held at the middle school this summer. Students are registered on a first "received" basis -- due to popular demand and limited class sizes -- we enroll students as forms are turned into the offices. Forms should be turned into your child's homeroom teacher with the building they attend so they can get them submitted to the office in a timely and orderly fashion.

Way to make us #MustangProud, Lucas!!
Lucas is the first student at BES to reach 200 reading steps with our monthly reading logs through our reading curriculum. Those 200 steps equal 50 hours of reading! Wow! Way to go Lucas and all those families helping their children grow in literacy by reading at home.
Hurry and get your seats before the show starts at 6 at the middle school! Thank you to the Brookwood PTO for this fun free family event tonight!! Here are a couple of pictures from this afternoons show that was put on for our students at our elementary school.
Thank you to all the families that donated safe eyewear for our students today!! We are also thankful to State Bank of The Lakes for donating 150+ safe eyewear to our schools as well!!
Don't forget to ask your child about their learning experience today!!
Way to show your Brookwood Blues and show your school spirit, Mustangs!
Don’t forget that some Monday’s are Mustang Monday’s and some Monday’s you show your Brookwood Blues…it’s all random on which Monday is what and who is pulled and not….but overall we love seeing your Mustang Pride.
