Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
From seed to pumpkin, our first graders are learning by doing! 🎃 Ms. Tickle’s class explored the pumpkin life cycle, then shared their writing with one another—with hands-on learning, proud voices, and lots of smiles along the way. 🍂
Friday ended with high-fives, big smiles, and a special visit from Chuck E. Cheese! 🎉 Thank you to our wonderful PTA for organizing such a fun event, and to all the families who joined us Friday evening. What a joyful way to wrap up the week! 🧀🐭

Happy OCTOBER — It’s Fall. It’s Spooky Season, but most importantly... IT’S FUNDRAISING MONTH! Which means...
It’s time for the annual GLOW RUN.
The Brookfield PTA holds one big fundraising event of the year to bring in most of our operating funds. Every penny we raise this month goes toward funding after-school programs, field trips, community events and extra support for our school and staff.
Our goal this year is $20,000!
The Main Event: On Wednesday, October 28, every student participates in a high-energy, music-fueled blacklight run right inside the school gym with glow gear and games!
