In Mr. McQuade's and Mr. O'Connor's Chemistry class, students investigated the colligative property of water called freezing point depression by making ice cream. Students used ice and salt to cool the ingredients for ice cream to discover how energy is absorbed from the ingredients and the outside environment.




Thank you Mrs. Galow and Mrs. Thanasides for all you do to keep our school safe and healthy!


Thank you to everyone who came to our incoming 9th grade orientation at the high school. This was a great opportunity to meet the High School Administration & Counselors and to hear from current students about their experiences. Welcome to our future Cardinals!

Here is another clue as to what thoughtful and creative theme the Middle School PSO came up with for Teacher Appreciation Week. What a display!

May 8: WEAR GREEN ON WEDNESDAY
As the official color for mental health awareness, green represents renewal, hope, and vitality. Wearing green symbolizes unwavering support for mental health. Participating in this challenge sends a powerful message: Mental health is important, and by joining together, we are advocating for and supporting mental health.


Teacher Appreciation Week is in full swing at Brookside! Thank you to our incredible staff for going above and beyond each and every day for our students. The PTO rolled out the red carpet for our staff with amazing door decorations! #BESTatBrookside

Congratulations Mrs. Hogle! She selected a free pedicure from Coco Nails for finding Waldo today!


Though it's been a few weeks since our March Madness event, the gratitude we feel for our JFG Dads and community hasn't diminished one bit! Together, we accomplished something truly remarkable, raising over $8,200 for Diana Periera and the Picninic family. This event is a powerful reminder of the strength we possess when we come together. Thank you all for your incredible support and generosity! #JustFocusonGrowing



Thank you once again to our PSO for starting the day with a yummy breakfast! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! #WeAllShine@Washington


This month, our 5th graders selected a perfect message in reflection of Mental Health Awareness Month. Lead on JFG! #JustFocusonGrowing
