The Mustang Minute
Week of November 8th
FROM THE PRINCIPALS' OFFICES
Greetings Mustang Nation!
We hope you are all enjoying this beautiful - yet brisk - fall weather and each other!
We'd like to take this opportunity to again thank all of you who participated in Parent/Teacher Conferences last week. Attendance in both buildings was sky high; it appears that affording multiple ways to connect with teachers - in person, via phone, or via Google Meet - was a huge success. Thank you for partnering with us in support of our children!
Coming up this week is our annual Veterans Day Assembly. Parents and community members are invited to attend the event in person at the Brookwood Middle School gym at 9am. This year we will also be livestreaming the event to the masses for those who wish to tune in from the comfort of their own home. Please read on for details on how to access the Livestream online.
Here's to a cozy November weekend, Mustangs! Make it a GREAT one!
Mr. Braden and Mrs. Franz
