Brookwood Middle School

In the spirit of being thankful, we wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your support in regards to our online Scholastic book fair! With your purchases and dedication to your children's growth in and love of reading, our school received over $300 to purchase new library materials. While we certainly look forward to being able to have in-person book fairs again, we are very appreciative that we were able to make this online book fair a success. Until next time, happy reading! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

To our BFO....thank you....thank you.....thank youuuu!!! Our teachers are soooo thankful of these amazing teacher spreads that were laid out at the elementary and middle school. We are truly grateful for your support in our teachers, staff, and school district. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

The Lake Geneva Food Service that provides our District breakfast and lunch meals to our students has received an extension for the Federal Summer Food Service Program. Brookwood students are eligible for one FREE breakfast and one FREE lunch daily for the entire 2020-2021 school year. We encourage each student to take advantage of our nutritious meals at no cost. This will require no action on your part, just show up! Additional meals, milk, or a la carte purchases will be debited from the students' account. If your family has already paid toward your lunch balance, we ask that you please leave the balance for future use.

We hope you enjoyed our first video from our GCJ2 Family Engagement's Read Aloud Series. Mrs. Kiefer is really excited to share with you her book called Moon's First Friend. Have you heard about narrative stories vs. expository readings? Find out more through this read aloud! https://youtu.be/ME8uG76LB3g

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!

Who knew that paper tubes could be so beautiful?! Our BMS 3-D Art Class rocked this project!! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

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

Our Families in Need Program is changing this year. Please see the attached letter for more information.

On Election Day, Brookwood's seventh graders made their voice heard. In math class, students voted for the US President, a local State Representative, and a local school referendum. Amazing discussions took place, and the students truly enjoyed the experience. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

The Spanish 2 students at BMS have been learning about Day of the Dead. After writing in Spanish about what they would have on their "ofrenda" and reading about an experience a tourist had while visiting Mexico during the Day of the Dead, the students decorated cookies like calaveras or skulls. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest
