Solar Eclipse Viewing at Brookhill
Thursday Aug. 31st from 5-8 pm
Early Dismissal
Principal's Note
We have had a busy week at Brookhill. I want to thank our students, staff, and parents that made our Solar Eclipse Viewing activity a success. Our students were extremely excited about the once in a lifetime opportunity to view 97% of a total solar eclipse. It was a great way to tie back our instruction to a real life experience.
As we wind down the month of August, I want to take time to thank you all for a successful start to our school year. The greatest part of my job is to greet all 317 of our Brookhill Family members each and every day. Our students model great character, compassion, and respect towards one another. It takes a village to raise a child and to see what our future holds here in Athens, we have a lot to be a proud of. Please take time to talk with your children about their day, academically and socially and if there are any concerns, never hesitate to contact their teacher or myself with any concerns or questions you may have. We look at your children as they were our very own.
We are looking forward to another successful week at Brookhill. As always, "It's Great to be a Golden Eagle!"
Sincerely,
Jeff Mathheus
