PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

I want to thank all our families for your support and prayers as this has been an extremely difficult time as we deal with the tragic loss of our Assistant Principal, Ms. Mitchell, on April 14th. Ms. Mitchell was such a huge part of Brookwood Jr. High School, and we are ALL feeling this tremendous loss.

As we begin the last full month of school, we will stay positive and get through it together. If your child(ren) are experiencing grief or loss, please reach out to one of our Social Workers, Ms. Adams (ladams1@brookwood167.org) or Ms. Page (epage@ brookwood167.org). I am also including a list of coping resources sent home with students during the week of April 17th.

Warm weather is finally here, and the month of May promises to be both a busy and exciting time with the end-of-theyear achievements of our students and the celebration of our graduating 8th graders.
