The BFO Holiday Shop is coming, and we need your help! The Holiday Shop provides students the opportunity to look through a range of items and buy holiday gifts (for Mom, Dad, siblings, grandparents, and even their pets) “in secret”. Volunteers will help children choose their gifts and work within their budgets. Volunteers will also be assisting in helping children to wrap the gifts and label them. Please click the link below if you are interested in volunteering to help at any time during the Holiday Shop. Thank you!

We need your help to get more families to support the Box Tops program. The more people that participate, the more our school can earn to help get the supplies it needs!
PLUS, you can earn a bonus for our school by inviting your friends, family, and other parents to sign up and participate in Box Tops.
To refer friends to sign up, go to the Invite Friends section of the Box Tops app. (You can get there by tapping on the person icon in the upper-right corner of the app home screen.) You'll get a referral code that you can send to a friend. You'll BOTH earn Bonus Box Tops for our school when they scan their first receipt — that's extra cash that counts towards our Box Tops earnings goal of $1,000 this year.
Thanks for your help!
Email the BFO at brookwoodfamily19@gmail.com with any questions regarding box tops.
For Brookwood schools use referral code WY7S80A1

Phew, October was one busy month! It's hard to believe it has been a week since Fall Fest. We wanted to let you know that everyone has been notified if they won one of the amazing raffle baskets. Thank you all so much for your contributions to these baskets. They are one of the many highlights of the event.
We would also like to take the time to thank Chief Balog for organizing the judges and the prizes for our costume contest as well as the best trunk contest. We are so lucky to partner with the police department on this event.
Huge thank you to the Freund Family for their support of supplying the hayride for this event!!
Furthermore, we were blessed this year to have some amazing trunk participants. We understand it can be pricey to decorate and supply candy, but everyone loves the Trunk or Treat and seeing all of the fabulous creative ideas. Thank you for your efforts! WOW!
Finally, we would like to thank the Village of Genoa City for its continued support. They donate funds for all of the food served during Fall Fest. We are so appreciative of all of the businesses and families that donate raffle items, as well as the families that attend this event! You truly make our Mustang community proud.

This week, the first graders have been reading the books Creepy Carrots, Creepy Pair of Underwear, and Creepy Crayon by Aaron Reynolds. Each day they listened to the story getting read by the author and they have enjoyed it SO much. They have been writing using an adjective to describe the creepy carrots, if they would want a creepy pair of underwear, and what object they would turn creepy and what their book would be called. They also learned and filled out a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear. The students have also completed a craft activity where they got to make Jasper Rabbit in a creepy pair of underwear as well. It was a fun week and the students really had a blast!
