At the end of October, Mrs. Bullock who teaches K-3rd & 6th grade music, 6th-8th grade choir, Drama, and Personal Finance, attended the Wisconsin Music Educators Conference in Madison. She was one of the presenters for Informal Music Making and Technology in the Classroom. Mrs. Bullock shared things she has created as an educator to enhance her teaching, as well as projects created by students. Recent student-created projects include: a sixth grade project, Red Fish Blue Fish, performed with beats he created himself using BandLab, the chance composition project created by Mrs. Nast's 21/22 third grade class, and William's Winter Nap - which was narrated by the drama class with sound effects added by Mrs. Johnson's second grade using classroom instruments. Conferences provide a great opportunity to network and gain new approaches and ideas to use in the classroom. Mrs. Bullock is already implementing some of the new things she learned! Way to share your greatness, Mrs. Bullock!! We are #MustangProud of you and so thankful you are part of the Brookwood Family!

Brynn is currently in Rionegro, Columbia and is wrestling on November 5 for the U.S. U15 Pan American Team at the Pan American Wrestling Championships. She is the lone representative from Wisconsin and is one of 10 girls representing the United States.

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.

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.
