đŸŠđŸ„đŸąđŸŸOur Kindergarten Nature Protectors are doing their duty by monitoring the growth and health of our Brookwood critters! They have been observing baby chickens hatch, feeding the Yellow-bellied Slider that lives in our courtyard pond, and observing the changes in our growing Largemouth Bass. These experiences are a vital aspect of our STEM work. They teach our Lions the important roles and responsibilities we play in taking care of all of the living creatures on Earth. Building empathy through thoughtful interaction with living things is a process we take very seriously! #BrookwoodSTEM

Letter from Brookwood - Brookwood Families,   Next week, our 3rd & 5th Grade Lions begin Georgia Milestones testing, and the following week, our 4th Grade Lions begin Georgia Milestones testing. During these testing periods, we must modify our lunch schedule to accommodate our testing schedule. Because of these changes, we are pausing all lunch visitors beginning Monday, April 27th, until the end of the Georgia Milestones testing period on Monday, May 11th. This will allow us to modify our lunch schedule at any given time without causing our families any inconvenience. We truly appreciate your support and patience during this temporary change.  Thank you,

Debido a estos cambios, suspenderemos las visitas al comedor escolar a partir del lunes 27 de abril hasta el final del periodo de pruebas Georgia Milestones, el lunes 11 de mayo.

🩁📱Our car line dismissal may be slightly delayed today due to a collection of bees outside of our 1st & 2nd grade door.

🩁🐝Conveniently, next week, our 1st grade Pollinator Protectors will also be selling pollinator seed packets in celebration of Earth Day! Each packet is $1, and students can purchase them before school in the lobby or after school at Paren Walk-up!

Brookwood Families,    Some of our honeybee pollinating friends have decided to gather near the 1st and 2nd grade exit door. As a safety precaution for our students as well as the bees, we will not be dismissing students out of that door today. We will also need to modify our carline to avoid that area. We ask for your patience as this may cause a slight delay in our car line dismissal today.   Thank you,
