Thank you Ms. Velez, WRSD Director of Elementary Education, for being the mystery reader for Mrs. Stewart's Kindergarten Class!


4C is dropping everything to read! After students in Mr. Capozzi's class decided what reading workshop should look like, sound like, and feel like, the students began to put those components into practice. Look at that focus! #BESTatBrookside


Author and motivational speaker, Ed Gerety just finished the last of three presentations for the families and students of the middle school. Thanks, Mr. Gerety for reminding us to be grateful for the people in our lives and to RISE UP this school year!

We will never forget and can remember 9/11 by following this quote by former President Barack Obama, “Even the smallest act of SERVICE, the simplest act of KINDNESS, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of UNITY that followed 9/11."


Fifth graders look forward to various responsibilities and privileges. Today the discussion and group shares included the difference between a leader and a boss.





Thank you to the Washington PSO for treating our hard-working staff to a yummy welcome back luncheon! It was a truly appreciated treat after braving the heat! #WeAllShine@Washington
