Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
Retired Combat Veteran, HM1 Lee Sauceda served as a Navy Fleet Marine Force Corpsman. Mr. Sauceda served 25 years in the US Navy. Our 2nd grade students enjoyed their learning on Wednesday as we celebrated Veterans Day. We are grateful for his service to our country!
Fifth Graders Take the Lead! Ms. Canavan's 5th graders dove deep into critical thinking during their Socratic Seminar. Students practiced asking thoughtful questions, listening actively, and supporting their ideas with evidence. The classroom was buzzing with inquiry and intellectual curiosity!
Brookfield Broncos are proud Purple Star Recipients! We are thrilled to celebrate Brookfield's first-time achievement of the Purple Star Award! Pictured are staff members Emily Zarybnisky, Lesley Hassen, and Margaret Sisler at the reception and School Board meeting on Thursday. This award recognizes our commitment to military families. A huge THANK YOU to all of our dedicated military-connected families for your service and support!
