Community Read Aloud
Families with pre-K through 4th-grade students are invited to visit up to 8 read-aloud locations around town, enjoy an ice cream sandwich, and select a free book to keep. Meet at the town gazebo at 5:30 p.m. for a welcome message from your school librarians and a map of the event's locations. After you have visited at least three read-alouds, meet back at the gazebo for ice cream and book selection.
Emergency Drills this Week
One Door Requirement
I believe that the one-door protocol can work with modification. I believe that using our main entrance as the primary door that we use to enter and exit our building from arrival to dismissal time and from which we conduct all business is a workable idea as long as we allow staff members to use the north door when they we are taking students outside to our outdoor playground and classroom areas.
Mr. Millington will consider modifications to the one-door protocol if the community is in agreement, so I invite you to a meeting at Brookfield Elementary on Tuesday, September 27 at 5:30 in the multi-purpose room. I look forward to having this discussion with you.

Tunbridge Fair - Winners!
Mrs. Ferris entered the quilt at the fair and they received 1st Place and Best of Show!
6th Grade Field Trip - Snorkeling
Four Winds
Four Winds is highly dependent on volunteers who agree to come to the monthly training which lasts about two hours. In the past this happened at school one morning each month. Then, the volunteers arrange with the classroom teachers, this could be in your child's classroom, the best time for the lesson.
We can move forward with this program if we can count on your support. Please complete this form to share your availability.
A Night of Deconstruction!
Here is your chance to unscrew, unbolt, open up and see what’s inside that old radio or
computer, the toaster or blender, or whatever else you’d like to bring along and take
apart. There will be tools of all sorts, protective eyeglasses, appliances to experiment on
and lots of activity at the Brookfield Old Town Hall beginning at 6:30 pm on Tuesday
September 27th. Stop by, and do some hands-on science with your friends. This event is
free!
