The school district started a new program just before the holidays called Neighbor to Neighbor. The purpose of the program is to connect family volunteers with others within their neighborhood who may be in need of assistance with snow removal, light household tasks, or local errands.
Families who are interested in volunteering can sign up with the school district by contacting Lisa Thompson at 262-279-1053 or emailing her at lisa.thompson@gcj2.k12.wi.us.
The district is working on collecting volunteers, and then will be reaching out to the community to find residents who are in need of assistance. If you are in need of assistance, please reach out to Lisa Thompson as well at 262-279-1053 or emailing her at lisa.thompson@gcj2.k12.wi.us.
It’s a bit chilly out there and our BES artists help us remember that inside of our building as well.

Hello BES Heart Heroes,
Update: We now have 100 students who have registered and taken their own heart healthy challenges! We have raised over $12,000 for the American Heart Association and have collected donations from 19 different states! Did you know that any student who raises over $250 will get to throw a pie at a teacher or administrator?
Save the date: Our Heart Events will take place during your student’s regularly scheduled P.E. classes on either February 14th or 15th. 4K will be on Tuesday. If you are unsure on which day your student has P.E., please reach out to their teacher. Students are encouraged to wear anything that lights up or glows as long as they can safely move around in it.
Reminders: Registering is FREE and all fundraising is due by the end of day February 21st.

Today our 8th graders were lucky enough to tour Badger High School in preparation for next year! We learned about everything Badger offers, both academically and extracurricularly, and there is something for everyone! Students left feeling excited for their next step & prepared with some ideas on the classes they plan to take.

Please help us welcome Emily Darnell to our Brookwood Family!! You’ll see Darnell working in our 4/5 wing with Mrs. Erickson and Mrs. Peters as a field study student at our middle school.
Darnell is currently attending Northern Illinois University to pursue a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a certification in ESL. She is passionate about not only teaching students but learning how to be the best teacher she can be. Darnell is thankful to have the opportunity to start her clinical experience at such an amazing school like Brookwood. She will also be going to Kenya and Tanzania this summer with a group from NIU to further her knowledge on multicultural education. In her free time, she likes to go thrift shopping, and has recently started to learn to sew. She’s also always trying to find ways to be more sustainable and kinder to the environment.
We are so happy to have Darnell as a part of our Brookwood Family!! Welcome!!
