The Brookwood Elementary Trek Leaders are supporting The Place and their efforts to provide food for members of our community this winter.
What: Cake Mix and Icing
When: November 5-9
Where: Brookwood Elementary Food Drive collection boxes
located in the main hallway.
Fun Fact: If every student at Brookwood Elementary donated one box
that would be over 1,000 boxes of food to help feed families in our community!
We are also asking families to bring cake mix and icing in with them for Bingo Night
Veterans Day at Brookwood
On Monday, November 12, we will be celebrating Veterans Day at Brookwood. We look forward to honoring United States Veterans and current service members with a breakfast, choral performance, and the “Parade of Heroes” that morning. Teachers are welcoming participants to volunteer and/or speak to their classes. Veterans and service members may also choose to have lunch with their family member who attends Brookwood on the stage. The excitement is building here at school as we get ready for this festive annual event!
Your child received a copy of the “Honoring Our Hero” template and a letter explaining how your special Veteran or service member may be honored at this patriotic event. If you have a participant, please fill out the tear off slip you’ll find on the bottom of the letter and have your child return it to their classroom teacher or Ms. Edwards in the art room.
If you have photos of United States Veterans you would like to send in for our hallway display, please complete the “Honoring Our Hero” template, copy your precious photo and send the copy on the template.
We would like to have all “Honoring Our Hero” templates and participant tear off sheets by Wednesday, November 7. Your courtesy in returning all information by the deadline is much appreciated as we complete our plans for the big day!
If you need another copy, please find the link on Brookwood’s website or face book page.
