Crouch's Corner
Greetings Brookside Families,
I believe that the success of our school is built on the foundation of mutual respect and trust we have for one another. It is parents like you who make our jobs as educators, so much easier because of your continuous support. Every day, I observe dedicated teachers and staff who create a culture of equity, love, and nurturing. It is an honor to serve a community where the main objective is to provide a safe learning environment for our students and families. Brookside Elementary is committed to continuing this focus and supporting our children and families during the school day and beyond.
I am moved and inspired by what I see on a daily basis at BES. I marvel at the incredible devotion of our staff and their unique ability to teach and motivate our children. The best is yet to come at Brookside as we set our expectations to an extremely high standard. 382 PRIDE is just getting started.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Saludos a las familias de Brookside,
Creo que el éxito de nuestra escuela se basa en el respeto mutuo y la confianza que tenemos los unos con los otros. Son los padres como usted quienes hacen nuestro trabajo como educadores, mucho más fácil gracias a su continuo apoyo. Todos los días, observo a maestros y personal dedicado que crean una cultura de equidad, amor y cuidado. Es un honor servir a una comunidad donde el objetivo principal es proporcionar un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro para nuestros estudiantes y familias. Brookside Elementary se compromete a continuar este enfoque y apoyar a nuestros niños y familias durante el día escolar y más allá.
Estoy conmovido e inspirado por lo que veo a diario en BES. Me maravilla la increíble devoción de nuestro personal y su capacidad única de enseñar y motivar a nuestros hijos. Lo mejor está por venir en Brookside ya que establecemos nuestras expectativas en un estándar extremadamente alto. 382 PRIDE acaba de comenzar.
¡Feliz día de acción de gracias!

Pre-School Montessori students learn how to make (write) words before learning how to read them. | Kindergarten Students from A8 got up close and personal with a real horseshoe crab when the Maritime Aquarium visited the 3 kindergarten classrooms! | 1st Grade Students from B8 work together to measure with nonstandard units. What fun using various measuring tools to measure around the classroom! |
