Signing up for a week entitles you to a summer of harvesting whatever is ready to be picked and what you can use for your table. There is plenty! Many hands make light work and it will be necessary to weed and water the garden at least 3 times a week.
Please check what month and week works best for you. Weeks run from Sunday to Saturday. We will be holding an informational meeting on May 14th at 5 to discuss what has already been planned and planted as well as what needs to be planted. Please sign up for two weeks so we can give you the best option of a week you want.

BES Kindness Squad is very excited about their last service project of the year! They have set their minds to preparing and running a donation drive for the Lakeland Animal Shelter. Kindness Squad needs the help of our Brookwood families, friends and the community to make their donation drive a success. Here is a video they have helped to prepare to get the word out about Lakeland Animal Shelter and their donation drive that runs from May 15 - May 29th! Following the donation drive, they will be hand delivering the donations to the shelter and providing some hands-on service work while at the shelter.

7th & 8th grade students in Life Skills class had another guest career speaker, our very own Mr. Dennis! Before becoming Broodwood's 7th grade math teacher, Mr. Dennis was a microbiologist. Students learned how his interest in science during high school turned into pursuing a college degree in biology and chemistry. Mr. Dennis shared that he enjoyed how he was able to directly apply his college education to his work in a lab testing microorganisms. Students asked questions and also reflected on how this career would interest them or impact their future career choices.
Thank you ALL for your continued support in our schools. We are so thankful for all of the outpouring of support and love our staff received this week during staff appreciation week. We hands down have THE best staff around and we appreciate their work and dedication to all things Brookwood everyday!!

Our spring forest outing last week offered a variety of activities for all ages. Students across the district spent some time in our school forest. Groups spent time doing various activities such as removing an invasive species to save the forest, use binocular-hand lenses-viewers to observe off trail, collect and make bookmarks & bracelets, scavenger hunts, and see the
community garden.
For some groups, another part of the day was spent doing eco-art projects, playing predator-prey tag, and beginning their units on children's mental health. It was a day packed full
of exploration, observation, learning and creativity!
Yesterday, the BES Running Club and BMS Track Team did their annual end of season run together. BMS students as well as some parents helped the BES Running Club run to the Middle School and back. They all did fantastic with the 2 1/2 mile run! Way to go Mustangs!

The schools were a sea of green today as staff and students showed support for Children's Mental Health Awareness. K-3 students have learned what mental health is, how to practice self care, managing big emotions and understanding that it's okay to ask for help when their mind doesn't feel healthy and happy.
