It's been quite busy lately....but we wanted to thank all those that were able to attend our winter concerts! If you have pictures for us to post, please email them to Helen.Xiong@gcj2.k12.wi.us
We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our very own Little Free Library, located right in front of Brookwood Elementary School!
Thanks to a generous donation from Mercedes Benz, this library is stocked with a wonderful selection of children's books. It’s a space for everyone to take a book to enjoy and share a book to inspire others.
Whether you’re looking for a new adventure, a bedtime story, or a favorite classic, our Little Free Library is here for you. Let’s build a community of readers, one book at a time!
How it works:
Take a Book: Find something you’d love to read.
Share a Book: Donate a book you’ve loved so someone else can enjoy it.
We can’t wait to see how our Brookwood families contribute to and enjoy this new addition to our community.
Happy reading!
