While the forecast is calling for limited snowfall, the wind and bitter cold will be creating a dangerous environment starting Thursday late morning and continuing through Saturday. We are very concerned about having students and staff out on the roads at dusk under these forecasted conditions. We considered an early release in the middle of the day, but felt it would create a bigger burden for parents as we have never done that before. In addition, we wanted to give ample notice so parents could arrange childcare if needed.
For those reasons we are announcing that we will be closing school on Thursday December 22nd. Please stay safe and enjoy the time with your family and friends.
Brookwood Elementary School had a special visitor this morning from the "Elf on a Shelf." Mr. Braden had this surprise for the students as they exited the buses and/or got dropped off at school. This started our day with excitement as our full sized "Elf" greeted the students and encouraged them to make it a great day!!! Genoa City Schools wishes for everyone to have a safe and happy holiday season.

We are SO excited to continue a series called: Sharing YOUR Greatness!
We ask our Brookwood families to share with us things our Brookwood students are doing outside of school so we can share in your greatness and how #MustangProud we are of your accomplishments!! If you have something to share....email it to Mrs. Xiong at Helen.Xiong@gcj2.k12.wi.us
Our next sharer of greatness is Braden who is currently a 1st grader at BES. Just this past November, he competed in his first national wrestling tournament and got 3rd place for his bracket!!
Braden started wrestling last year and won 34 matches and lost only 3 in his first year of competing. He enjoys wrestling because he has fun with his friends and teammates during practice. He also enjoys winning the trophies from the tournaments he is a part of. Braden also likes the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago Whitesox. He also enjoys playing soccer and video games and just like the rest of us…he loves his Mac n Cheese!
Way to make us #MustangProud, Braden!! Continue to work hard and play hard, Braden!
Thank you to all those that donated monies, clothing, time, and well wishes to our Families in Needs Program. We also wanted to give a huge thank you to the community members of Lakeland Community Church for delivering and donating 65 breakfast bags towards this program as well. We are so fortunate to have the supporting community groups continue to lift up our schools and students. Thank you. Thank you. Thank YOU!!
Our BES students have been participating in Makerspace activities and we are excited to share with you that their last focus was learning about how "drag" (when something moves through water or air) interacts with objects. Students in 3rd grade made parachutes with coffee filters, yarn or string, small cups and small figurines. They saw how fast cups without parachutes travel from a height (stairwell), then how a parachute slows the descent of the cup. The goal was to see if their figurine would stay in their cup and make changes to their parachute to make it safer for their figurine.

BES 3rd grade scientists wrapped up their Water and Climate Unit in science by creating conservation posters. The 2023 Conservation Poster Contest sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Instruction and WI Land + Water offered the scientists the opportunity to enter their posters with the theme "One Water" into a local contest. The top poster can them progress to a state and then national competition.
These 3rd grade scientist's poster were submitted to the Walworth County level contest. If chosen on January 16th, the winning poster will move on to the next level.
Good Luck 3rd Grade Scientists!
