Mustangs! Please help us welcome our new middle school principal Tori Franz into our Brookwood Family!! We are excited to start sharing with you our new faces to our Brookwood Family. To meet Mrs. Franz in person AND get a FREE book coupon to the Genoa City Library Friends' book sale at the elementary school...head out to the Touch a Truck event on this Saturday from 10-2 at Veteran's Park!
Greetings Brookwood Nation! I am Tori Franz, the new principal at Brookwood Middle School! I come to you with 16 years of experience in education, with leadership experience as Principal of Clinton High School and Director of Teaching & Learning at Palmyra-Eagle Area School District. Prior to then, I worked for 13 years teaching Spanish and ESL at various grade levels in the Wauwatosa and New Berlin School Districts. As one might guess, I LOVE education...and that means I love going to school too! I grew up in New Berlin, WI, and attended Eisenhower High School. I then went on to UW-Madison for my undergrad, and earned a BA in Spanish and Political Science. I received my teaching licenses from UW-Milwaukee in Spanish and ESL, and later returned to school, this time at Marian University, for a Masters in Leadership Studies and Curriculum & Instruction. I look forward to pursuing a doctorate in Equity Studies soon, as I am currently researching programs of study!
My husband, Cory, and I live in East Troy with our four beautiful kiddos: Madden (5th grade); Maggie (2nd grade); and Mila and Murphy (3K)...yes - they are twins! Our family loves to be outside swimming, camping, hiking, and of course playing baseball and softball! In my spare time I also love to read, and to run our non-profit organization, East Troy Moxie Girls Fastpitch Club.
I can honestly say that although I have only been employed at BMS a short while, I already feel like a part of the family! I am looking forward to getting to know all of our families and staffers, and to working with teachers and students especially! Brookwood is small, but mighty! And, it was the family-like atmosphere that attracted me to apply here. I feel honored and privileged to be working in such a wonderful place, and I can’t wait to meet all of you and to get started! Go Mustangs!

Thank you to our community partners in supporting our love for reading!
It's never too early to buy your school supplies :)
Are you ever on a time crunch to find time to read? A great idea is to always keep a book nearby or with you when you’re on the go. Waiting for a friend at an event? Pull out that book to read! At a restaurant and waiting for your food? Pull out that book to read! Hanging out at the pool? Pull out that book to read! There are so many missed opportunities that are great opportunities to pull out a book to read! Just make sure to keep one nearby! Stay tuned for the Family Engagement Team’s book scavenger hunt coming out soon!!
Community Zumba is BACK! All classes are held at BMS. For more information, please contact Jennifer Mosansky at Jennifer.Mosansky@gcj2.k12.wi.us
