Brookwood Middle School

The Brookwood Middle School student council is organizing a food drive to collect non-perishable food items at both schools. The food will then be donated to Loaves and Fishes (our local food pantry) on December 1. Donation boxes will be found in the breezeway of both the elementary and middle school.

Here is our first video from our GCJ2 Family Engagement's Read Aloud Series. Ms. Stanley's reading strategy she is sharing with you is to make predictions! Making predictions is a lifelong skill that we not only use while reading but is intertwined within the many tasks we partake in on a daily basis! Take part on being interactive with us on her video posted on Facebook! https://youtu.be/uBs_aQbe_tA

Help us say "Thank you" to the Brookwood teachers and staff by stocking the teacher's lounges with treats! Once you have signed up to donate an item you will receive an email from our BFO to arrange for pick up. All items will need to be arranged for pick up by Thursday November 19th as we plan on stocking the lounges on Monday November 23rd. Please note, all items MUST be in their original factory sealed packaging and all items must be individually portioned out to make things fast and easy to grab and go. Thank you! If you have questions, please contact the BFO directly at brookwoodfamily19@gmail.com https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040e44aea629a7fd0-teachers

Last year, our BMS Physical Education department was fortunate to win a $1,000 grant, and the money was spent on Table Tennis equipment. This was the first time our 7th and 8th graders had the opportunity to play Table Tennis at Brookwood, and we had a blast! It is such a fun sport, that can be played throughout a lifetime. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
