Hi Everyone,

We issued report cards today.

Our girls soccer team play a closely contested championships finals today, losing 2 -1.

As you know next week we have parent-teacher conferences, which coincide with our book fair.

There is no school on Tuesday (Veterans Day) and on Wednesday students will be dismissed at 1:00pm.

Book Fair Information
The Brooklyn Middle School Library will be sponsoring a Scholastic Book Fair during conference week (November 10-14). The fair will be open during regular school hours and Brooklyn Middle School conference times. Fifth and sixth grade classes, seventh grade Reading and eighth grade English classes will be visiting the fair from Monday through Thursday. The fair will be closing on Friday morning at 12.

Your child may bring a check or cash. Please make the check out to the Brooklyn School. If the check amount is more than your child spends, they will receive change. Adults may use a credit card. You are very welcome to stop by and browse during fair hours from Monday to Friday morning. If you come during the school day, please stop by the Main Office for a visitor's pass first.

Below is a calendar of events for the month of October.
