Wear as much pink as you can!
6th grade art classes are working on constructing coil pots from clay. Students are building on previous ceramic skills such as creating a pinch pot and using the score and slip method to join clay pieces together while learning how to build and attach coils to make a small vase or cup. These pieces will be dried, fired in the kiln, and then glazed. Clay days are always a favorite in the art room!
It's creepy and spooky, so wonderfully gooky, it's fabulous and happy, our Brookwood Fall Fest! The countdown has begun!! See you THIS WEEKEND!!!
If you want to enter the costume contest please be ready for registration at 12:00. The lineup will start immediately and we will begin the parade to the trunk or treat area at 12:30. We have special judges from the community who will decide on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place costumes as well as Best Decorated Trunks. The prizes are always amazing. Thank you Chief Balog for organizing the judges and the prizes.
Our Event does open at noon. Hay rides, lunch, inflatables, raffles, and story hour are just a couple of activities you can take part in during your time at the fest, especially if you are waiting for Trunk or Treat to open.
We are still looking for families to decorate a trunk. Remember admission to the event is free for your family if you host a trunk. Otherwise, admission is $5 per person or $25 per family. We have some tremendous raffle items from our community and area businesses this year. Raffle Tickets will be $1 each or 6 for $5. Hope to see you all there!

What a great day for professional development. Our staff spent intensive time collaborating with one another in the areas of safety, Educator Effectiveness, Math, English Langage Arts, conferences, grading, intervention work, and various other topics that will continue to help us Grow into Greatness.…but we missed our students!!! We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!!
Way to go, Mustangs! Last week was a fun and spirited Homecoming week! From wacky hats and tie-dyes to snuggly pajamas and Brookwood swag, this was a fun way to band together as Mustangs across our District. On Friday, the middle school finished up the week with a pep assembly put on by the student council. The 6, 7, & 8 band kicked off the assembly and then the fall sports teams were recognized for a job well done. Our Mustangs really pulled together during this assembly...literally. It was a battle of the ages. There were tug-o-war competitions between homerooms and then cross-grade levels. Eventually, it was the aged that took the lead. The battle between Metcalf's homeroom and the BMS teachers was a tough one, but the teachers came out on top! Great job, Mustangs.
Thank you to ALL the families that were able to come out to Family P.E. Week in both of our buildings!! We hope that no one was TOO sore after the intense workouts you endured with your child! Have a great weekend, Mustangs!
What a great way to end the week…in our Brookwood Blues!!! Way to show your school spirit Mustangs!!!!!
