The Brookwood Family Organization is excited to announce our end of the year reading competition! This will be an individual competition by grade level. It is all based on the number of minutes read by not only the student but their family members, neighbors, friends outside of our school district, and even distant relatives! We want ALL our students to develop a love of reading for pleasure, for knowledge, and for adventure. We are hoping that this challenge will help to support each student’s personal reading development goal.

Bookmarks had to be related to reading or books in some way. We had over 60 entries between the two schools, and here are our winners. Thank you to all of our artists who submitted a bookmark and everybody else for voting for your favorites! Happy reading, Mustangs!"

Did you know that next week is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week?
This year's theme is Flip the Script. A lot of times when we refer to Mental Health we may think of Depression, Anxiety, Therapy, Medication, but that isn’t always the case. In ‘Flipping the Script’ we need to think more about our Mental Health as a whole. Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Too often there is a stigma related to Mental Health and we need to Flip The Script and encourage open communication about Mental Health.
Throughout next week there will be daily posts regarding Children’s Mental Health and how you can help support your child at home.
On Friday, May 7th we will be showing awareness and acceptance for Children’s Mental Health by wearing Green and we hope you will join in!
