7th & 8th Graders went to Build My Future SE WI today which is a collaborative effort between Lakeland Builders Association and Racine Kenosha Builders Association. The event was possible because of the generous support of sponsors and the enthusiasm of our exhibitors. This trip allowed our students hands on experience with experts working in the trades.

Fall Fest at Brookwood on 10/19
On October nineteenth from noon to three,
Brookwood Middle School is the place to be.
The sun shines bright, the skies are blue,
As fall arrives with something new.
Caramel apples sticky sweet,
Crunch beneath our eager teeth.
Kids in costumes fill the scene,
Superheroes, ghosts, and queens.
With every trunk, a treat awaits,
Smiles lighting up the gates.
The hayride rolls along the field,
A bumpy joy that cannot yield.
Pumpkins waiting, round and bright,
In the patch, a happy sight.
Cookies dressed with frosting swirls,
Sprinkled by small hands in curls.
Chili simmers, rich and warm,
A fall fest feast that’s now the norm.
From noon to three, come one, come all—
At Brookwood’s Fest, we’ll have a ball!

Mr. Ott, Badger High School Band Director, called this our band "family reunion".
After the Homecoming parade, Brookwood, Badger, LGMS, and Woods bands gathered for dinner at LGMS, rehearsed our songs, and performed during pregame. It was great to see so many Brookwood alumni as current members of the Badger HS band!
Thanks to everyone who came out to support this fun community tradition!

Not only will you be with Mrs. Brenek and/or Mr. Guth but their student teachers too!
We are so excited to have Mr. Ramirez (BES) and Mr. Anderson (BMS) with us.
Here’s a little more about Mr. Guth and Mr. Anderson:
Mr. Guth has been at Brookwood for 18 years and is super excited to have a student teacher this year because he thinks it is exciting to mentor someone who brings fresh ideas and innovative approaches, which can invigorate both students and the learning environment. The collaboration that happens between Guth and his student teacher also fosters professional growth, allowing Guth to reflect on his own practices while guiding Mr. Anderson through his early teaching journey. Additionally, having an extra teacher means more personalized support for students, creating a more dynamic and responsive classroom. Guth thinks Brookwood stands out as an exceptional school due to its people. Brookwood is fortunate to have dedicated students, a committed staff, and a supportive community. The school’s smaller size fosters personalized attention for each student and creates a tight-knit environment where meaningful connections can thrive. This sense of community, combined with a focus on individual growth, sets Brookwood apart in a way that wouldn’t be possible in a larger school setting. Guth says that the Personal Wellness class at BMS is special because the class focuses on teaching students important life skills like teamwork, empathy, and emotional intelligence while also fostering physical health. By integrating activities that challenge both the body and mind, students learn how to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Additionally, the small class sizes allow for more personalized attention while creating a safe space for students to grow socially and emotionally. This combination of physical, emotional, and social learning makes Personal Wellness a standout program at Brookwood Middle School.
Mr. Anderson is currently finishing his last semester at Carthage College where he is pursuing his degree in Exercise and Sports Science and Secondary Education and Health. Anderson has had amazing relationships with some of his teachers growing up and wanted to be “that” teacher for others. He wants to be a positive role model to students and help teach and grow the next generations to come. He thinks the close knit community makes Brookwood amazing and his experience has been great so far — the students are great and he loves how active the community is with Brookwood.
Don’t forget to contact Mr. Guth if you have a child or children at our middle school to find out when they have their Personal Wellness class!

The 5th and 6th graders will be traveling to the College of Lake County in Grayslake, IL on October 29th to attend a live musical performance titled Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World. This is a 45-minute operetta sung in English and Spanish. Students will learn about this performance in music class. We will have class discussions and complete class activities while learning about singing/vocal ranges, instruments, storyline, and being a good audience member, among other aspects of the performance.
