National Walk to School Day was a BLAST! We had so much fun gathering at Voorhis Park and starting our day off with a brisk walk to school. We even had music playing and some students danced as they walked. A special thank you to our staff who joined us and the Westwood Police Department for keeping us safe along the way. #BrooksidePride #BuildingBrightFutures

🌸 A Blooming Surprise for Brookside!
There is nothing quite like the lasting bond between a teacher and a student! Today, our Brookside mailboxes were filled with some extra sunshine thanks to a very special alumna.

Isabella (Bella) Cassai, a former Brookside student now at the high school, has been pouring her heart into a beautiful initiative called "The Crochet Project." To show her gratitude for the teachers who supported her journey, Bella hand-crocheted a unique flower for every single teacher in our building!

Seeing our former students give back with such thoughtfulness is a powerful reminder of the impact our educators have every day. We are so proud of Bella and her incredible talent!

Follow Bella’s journey and see more of her amazing work at @crochetflowerproject.
