Our Yearend Celebration

The weather was perfect, the children had fun and played well together, and the adults, including the teachers, were able to relax.  It was a great day!

Thanks again to the parents who drove and supervised and to Mrs. Beleski!

Pizza Art

The students worked cooperatively to design and assemble pizzas.  I was very impressed with how they worked as teams, even during cleanup, and the pizza artwork was amazing and tasty!

Flowers to say Thank You and Goodbye

As you are aware, Mrs. Martin is transferring to a new position at the end of this year.  As well, Mrs. Jeffers, who may have taught your child in kindergarten, is leaving Brooksbank.  She is retiring early next year so will work as a TOC until that time.

We will miss them both very much and know they will miss the children.  Throughout the day on Thursday June 25th, the classes will take turns saying farewell and presenting a flower to each of them.

Please have your child bring 2 flowers on Thursday June 25th.

Thank you

Pizza Art

Hopefully by now your child has told you about the pizza art project.  The students are working in small groups to create pizzas with a picture.  They have created a plan for the pizza.  On Friday June 19th, they will assemble the pizzas, bake them and eat them.

Your child has a list in his/her planner of the food or cooking utensils he/she has offerred to bring (on the morning of June 19th).  The students have been asked to bring premade crusts, and all toppings preshredded, sliced etc. and in containers that can go home with any leftovers.

Your child should bring a recess snack as usual, and a drink and any other lunch items you think are necessary to go with the pizza. 

Should be fun, creative, and yummy!

Thanks for your support (again).


Sky Art

You may have heard that the students and staff of Sutherland and the feeder schools, including Brooksbank, will be working together to create a masive sky art project.  Our students will be introduced to the project at an assembly at Sutherland School tomorrow.  At 9:30 tomorrow, June 12, we will walk to Sutherland and will return to Brooksbank by 11:30 approximately.

The sky art project will take place on Monday June 15th on the grass baseball field next to Brooksbank.

On Tuesday, we will leave Brooksbank just after attendance in order to walk to Sutherland by 9:30 when our final recognition assembly will begin.  This will be followed by the Sky Art celebration assembly.  We will return to Brooksbank by 11:30 approximately.

Look forward to seeing your child as an important part of an art piece!
