Dear Brookfield Family,
As we wrap up another fantastic calendar year at Brookfield, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible work and dedication of our students, staff, and families. This year was full of heartwarming moments, from academic achievements to community-building events.
This week, our school was filled with the sounds of music as our talented chorus students performed for their peers and families. Our band and strings musicians also delighted us with their performances each morning. These experiences have not only showcased the artistic talents of our students but have also fostered a strong sense of school spirit and community.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to our PTA for organizing the wonderful Winter Carnival. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and fun for all. This event truly embodies the spirit of our Brookfield community.
As we embark on our winter break, we encourage you to cherish this time with your loved ones. Remember the quote, "Family is the compass that guides us. They are the ones who show us the way." May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and peace. It fills my heart to know that our family extends beyond our homes. At Brookfield, we strive to create a warm and supportive community where everyone feels valued and connected. 💙💛
We look forward to welcoming you all back in 2025, ready to continue our journey of learning, growth, and togetherness.
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Lesley Hassen, Principal
Margaret Sisler, Assistant Principal
Anthony Ramakis, Assistant Principal
