Brookwood Elementary School

In recognition of Wisconsin School Board Week, we want to thank the members of the Genoa City Jt. 2 School Board for their ongoing commitment to serve the Brookwood School Community! School Board Members play a vital role in ensuring that decision-making within the district is aligned with the values of the community. Our School Board has championed a "Children First" mentality that creates opportunities for all of our students and staff members to grow into their greatness! Our Brookwood Family is THE BEST! #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest https://tinyurl.com/yy9xjtew

Students in 2nd grade began their new social studies unit on mapping. They began their unit by looking at different maps through various resources. Students will learn about map keys and cardinal directions as well. At the end of the unit, students will be working on making a map of their own. #BeBrookwood #BrookwoodsBest

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month and we are thankful that this year we were able to continue on with our tradition of our Gold Walk at both schools this past Friday. We have partnered with Kisses from Keegan and Friends, a local pediatric cancer foundation, that supports local children fighting cancer. Keegan, who is a Brookwood alumni, put together this video to share with our students and community: https://youtu.be/n7_b9P7xFc0 To continue to help support raising awareness for childhood cancer, our District will be continuing to collect donations until the end of this month. The money that our District raises will be matched by Kisses from Keegan and Friends to help support a local child that is currently fighting cancer in our community. Please feel free to send your donations to either school office and to write checks out to Kisses from Keegan and Friends. If you have questions, please call the middle school office at 262-279-1053
