Mr. Ott, Badger High School Band Director, called this our band "family reunion".
After the Homecoming parade, Brookwood, Badger, LGMS, and Woods bands gathered for dinner at LGMS, rehearsed our songs, and performed during pregame. It was great to see so many Brookwood alumni as current members of the Badger HS band!
Thanks to everyone who came out to support this fun community tradition!

Family P.E. Week is next week! Have you contacted Mrs. Brenek and/or Mr. Guth on when your child’s class is? We can’t wait to have you all in the buildings on October 8th and/or 9th!
Not only will you be with Mrs. Brenek and/or Mr. Guth but their student teachers too!
We are so excited to have Mr. Ramirez (BES) and Mr. Anderson (BMS) with us.
Here’s a little more about Mrs. Brenek and Mr. Ramierz:
Mrs. Brenek has been here at Brookwood for 9 years and loves having the opportunity to have a student teacher this year because she gets to share her knowledge with him and learn from him at the same time. She thinks what makes Brookwood great is our sense of community along with our staff, families, and students. Brenek thinks P.E. is the best of the best at Brookwood because it is the only subject where one of the standards is to be responsible and respectful. She believes that all of our students are given the skills to become leaders, team players, and advocates for themselves for life.
Mr. Ramirez is currently attending UW-Whitewater and pursuing a license in Physical Education, Health Education, and Adaptive Physical Education. He chose to pursue these degrees because he has a passion for teaching students health, wellness, and about sports. What he thinks makes Brookwood great is the community involvement and inclusivity. His experience here at Brookwood has showcased to him our awesome staff, awesome students, and awesome environment.
Don’t forget to contact Mrs. Brenek if you have a child or children at our elementary school to find out when they have their P.E. class!

Here’s a little more about Mr. Guth and Mr. Anderson:
Mr. Guth has been at Brookwood for 18 years and is super excited to have a student teacher this year because he thinks it is exciting to mentor someone who brings fresh ideas and innovative approaches, which can invigorate both students and the learning environment. The collaboration that happens between Guth and his student teacher also fosters professional growth, allowing Guth to reflect on his own practices while guiding Mr. Anderson through his early teaching journey. Additionally, having an extra teacher means more personalized support for students, creating a more dynamic and responsive classroom. Guth thinks Brookwood stands out as an exceptional school due to its people. Brookwood is fortunate to have dedicated students, a committed staff, and a supportive community. The school’s smaller size fosters personalized attention for each student and creates a tight-knit environment where meaningful connections can thrive. This sense of community, combined with a focus on individual growth, sets Brookwood apart in a way that wouldn’t be possible in a larger school setting. Guth says that the Personal Wellness class at BMS is special because the class focuses on teaching students important life skills like teamwork, empathy, and emotional intelligence while also fostering physical health. By integrating activities that challenge both the body and mind, students learn how to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Additionally, the small class sizes allow for more personalized attention while creating a safe space for students to grow socially and emotionally. This combination of physical, emotional, and social learning makes Personal Wellness a standout program at Brookwood Middle School.
Mr. Anderson is currently finishing his last semester at Carthage College where he is pursuing his degree in Exercise and Sports Science and Secondary Education and Health. Anderson has had amazing relationships with some of his teachers growing up and wanted to be “that” teacher for others. He wants to be a positive role model to students and help teach and grow the next generations to come. He thinks the close knit community makes Brookwood amazing and his experience has been great so far — the students are great and he loves how active the community is with Brookwood.
Don’t forget to contact Mr. Guth if you have a child or children at our middle school to find out when they have their Personal Wellness class!
