PRINCIPAL NEWS
I want to take this opportunity to appreciate our Veterans! This week our school will recognize the work of our veterans with a virtual assembly, which was prepared by Joint Base Lewis McCord (JBLM). This locally produced video highlights the jobs which can be done in different branches of the military. Teachers will be teaching about our Veterans and the contributions they have made to our country.
Please know that in observance of Veterans' Day, there will not be school on Wednesday, November 11th.
On behalf of our Brookdale community, I want to extend our deep appreciation for all our military families. Thank you for your sacrificial service!

Tips for picture day
1. A family member will need to bring your child to Brookdale, 11213 Sheridan Av S on picture day during the assigned times.
2. If at all possible families are asked to arrive in coordination with times below to allow shorter wait times. If you cannot make this time, please feel free to come at a time convenient for your family.
Last name beginning with A - F from 10:00 - 11:30, G - J from 10:30 - 12:00, K - R from 12:00 - 1:30 and S-Z from 1:30 - 3:00 pm.
3. Masks must be worn and all Covid safety measures and social distancing expectations will be in place.
Do not miss out! This will be the last time to get your child(ren) picture taken this year. We are hoping we have all our Bobcats pictures in case a Yearbook will be created this year.
