#JustFocusonGrowing
Today the Westwood Cardinal joined us outside to welcome students with music, school spirit, and big smiles as they entered the building! It’s just one more way Brookside is spreading joy, building connections, and starting the day on a positive note.
We love creating moments that make our students feel excited, supported, and proud to be part of the Brookside community, because bright mornings help build bright futures!

Students loved meeting Ms. Betty and learning all about penguins together, it was the perfect way to bring our story to life.

Ms. Velten partnered once again with KPMG/Montvale to support Language Arts through a generous book donation. KPMG donated $300 toward brand-new fiction and non-fiction books for small-group instruction. Our students can’t wait to dive into their new reads and continue growing their love of learning and leadership through reading!
They offer an excellent post–high school program that is very affordable and has a strong reputation among professionals in the trades.
Please see Ms. Murray for details
