Brookwood Elementary's Candlelight Luncheon 2021
Brookwood Elementary's Colt Cafe' turned into a Winter Wonderland for the 2021 Candlelight Luncheon on December 9th and 10th. Students enjoyed eating by "candle"light in the snowy atmosphere. Thank you to the staff members who worked hard after school to transform the cafeteria and create such a special experience for our students.
