It's Well Check Wednesday! Does your heart or mind feel tense, agitated, stressed.....? Have you had a chance to release? Check out this video to see if it can help you build more strategies for you and your children to learn how to release those tense feelings you may be feeling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4ksXrJk98E&feature=youtu.be #BrookwoodsBest

Hello Brookwood Families, This week for Well Check Wednesday our District Nurse Heather Hoerth will be talking about COVID-19 strategies to think about as we transition into summer. Please know that we are here to help. Feel free to contact her with questions at 262-279-1053 or heather.hoerth@gcj2.k12.wi.us. https://youtu.be/nyOR-GH69_A

Thank you to a local community veteran who was a sergeant and served two tours in Iraq (Operation Iraqui Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom) for writing this for our post today: "Memorial Day is to honor those that never made it out of their uniform. They gave their lives, so we could live ours. Our country will forever be in their debt. Please don't thank a veteran on this day, that is for Veteran's Day. Instead, take a moment of silence for the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice."

May is Mental Health Month While we are all trying to find our way through this uncertain time, it is important to have compassion not only for yourself and for others as well.

We’ve got one more virtual teacher for you all to guess and this one is from our elementary school. Can you guess who it is? Here’s her special message to our friends: “Keep up the great work. I’m so proud of all of you. Remember, you can sit criss-cross, mermaid, or mountain... but knees are not an option.” #BrookwoodsBest

Okay, Mustangs! We've had a blast playing our virtual game with you all! Get those final answers in before we reveal all the names! Thanks for being a part of our game! We hope you've had as much fun as we have!! HELP! Our teachers have been teaching virtually for so long...they've become virtual! Help us figure out which virtual teach is who so we can get them back into their human forms! #BrookwoodsBest

Here's one more BES teacher full of "air hugs" as well! Can you guess who she is? Here is her special message for you all: "I’m missing my students like crazy right now, but I’ve found this quote to be especially inspiring: “It might be stormy now, but rain doesn’t last forever.” Until we can be back together again, I hope my students weather this storm by doing things they love! Get outside and play, try a new game or craft, build something, create something... but most of all, have fun and be safe!" #BrookwoodsBest

Here's a BES teacher...can you guess who she is? A special message for you all: "I'm SO proud of all of your hard work with online learning!! Don’t forget to focus on your mental health during this time too. I challenge you to think of at least one thing you're grateful for every day, and to keep spreading kindness every chance you get. I miss you all and can't wait until my "air hugs" can be real hugs!" #BrookwoodsBest

Here's another teacher from our middle school! Don't forget to keep those guesses coming even in our past images we posted! All answers will be revealed when the game is over! Here is this teacher's message for you: "Just a few more days until we can have the ultimate dance party! You are doing great and remember: You can always message me with any “Questions, comments, or concerns” that you may have!" #BrookwoodsBest

Here's one of our BMS teachers! Can you guess who she is? Here's her message to you all: "Finish the school year strong and welcome the summer!" #BrookwoodsBest

How about this teacher? She can be found at both our BES and BMS buildings! Her picture even has a hint in it! Here is her message to you all: My best to all of you in the coming year and finishing out strong this school year! #BrookwoodsBest
