Sharing YOUR Greatness!
We ask our Brookwood families to share with us what our Brookwood students and staff 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 first sharer of Greatness this school year is a staff member known at BES and BMS….Ms. Bullock, who was recently the guest speaker for the Lake Geneva Chapter of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The Chapter first began supporting our students in 2017 when the fifth-grade students showed an interest in opera. They sent Tracy Cantin to Brookwood to perform for the students. Since then, Brookwood students have attended three opera performances through their sponsorship. The program is called Opera in the Neighborhood. The performances are 45 minutes long and are performed mostly in English. The fifth and sixth-graders will be attending Katie: The Strongest of the Strong later this month.
Way to go, Ms. Bullock!!!! We are SO #MustangProud of you!!!

Are you ready to POP into October?
As a service project throughout October, Mrs. Collins’s BMS advisory is collecting pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Please keep those pop tabs, and send them to either school -- all month long! BMS students may drop them off in the band room at BMS or they can also be dropped off to the BES office.
Let’s PULL TOGETHER for Ronald McDonald House!

On October 16th, the 5th and 6th graders will travel to the College of Lake County to attend a live musical performance titled Katie: The Strongest of the Strong. This powerful opera for young audiences is inspired by the true story of Katie Sandwina, a circus strongwoman who – beyond earning the title “the strongest woman in the world," and being a wife and mother – also helped to lead the women’s suffrage movement in the early 1900s.
This 45-minute operetta is sung in English. We will have discussions and complete activities while learning about singing/vocal ranges, instruments, storyline, and being a good audience member, among other aspects of the performance, in music classes.

Last week in the BMS forestry elective, students relined and cleared the new path in the north section of the school forest. This path was created by last year’s students and connects the middle school end to the Tom Holden Trail. By clearing the path of new growth and dead plants, it makes the path more accessible to people of the community. Please come and enjoy the school forest and watch for the changes throughout the year!
Yesterday, BMS celebrated students who modeled our first character trait of the year: Respect 🙌 from our Purposeful People/Character Strong curriculum. Each Be Brookwood Student of the Month received our brand-new, limited edition t-shirt 🐎💙—a special way to honor their leadership and example.
To kick off October, we introduced our next focus: Responsibility. Students (and staff!) jumped into interactive games that showed what responsibility looks like in action—fun, teamwork, and lots of Mustang spirit! 💪
We’re proud of our students for Growing into Greatness every day at Brookwood Middle School.
