First-grade BES scientists hatched chicks for 4H students to raise and show at the fair. The entire school entered a raffle to see who could pick when the first chick “pipped”, cracked a breathing hole in the shell. Congratulations to Ashlyn for choosing the closest date and time!
To make things even more fun, Mr. Braden brought Saxony and Pekin ducklings for all of the students to meet! They swam and entertained 4K through 3rd grade.
Thank you to all of the teachers, Mr. Krisik, Mrs. Brenek, Mr. Erickson, and Mr. Braden for helping make this an amazing learning experience.

Greetings 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 2022-2023 school year, and we are pleased to offer an opportunity to purchase these supplies right here from your school!
The grade level supplies will be gathered into convenient and easy-to-use 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!

3rd Grade Field Trip
Name: Wilderness Skills Outdoor Program
Location: Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures
Date: May 20, 2022
Time: 9am-1:45pm
Description: During the Wilderness Skills Outdoor Program, students will learn practical and fun wilderness skills. They will be going on a compass hike where they will put their navigational skills to the test to find hidden items. Students will try their hands at making traditional shelters using natural materials, they will learn about survival skills, and then they will finish with a game to test their new knowledge. Although we are going to LG Ziplines and Adventures, we will NOT be ziplining.
