Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story

Three students, smiling!

Early closing? No problem! Our awesome second graders knew just what to do first: snack time! 🍎 They gathered in the cafeteria to chat with friends and enjoy a light bite before getting down to work. A little refueling and connection makes the afternoon go smoothly! 😊

PTA Glow Run

Mission Accomplished (and glowing)! 😎 The PTA Glow Run was a huge success, not only for the unforgettable fun but because we crushed our fundraising goal of $15,000! Thank you for helping us make our school shine so brightly!

Three pumpkins decorated by our Brookfield Teachers

Our dedicated teachers poured their creativity into their entries for the annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest, and the best part was sharing them with all of you! Seeing the students' smiles made all the hard work worth it.

Dear Brookfield Community,

We are thrilled to share that our annual PTA Glow Run was a huge success! Our students had a wonderful time in the blacklight gym, and thanks to your phenomenal support, we exceeded our fundraising goal by raising over $15,000!

This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of our incredible PTA volunteers. A huge thank you to the PTA for organizing such a fun and beneficial event for our school.

Finally, please remember that next week is the final week of the quarter. It's a critical time for students to complete all assignments and finish the quarter strong. We are immensely proud of the dedication and hard work shown by all of our Broncos!
