*Also wanted to recognize our Team Set Design Team- Addison Elrod, Barbara Burns, and Madison Hanley. Their 4th teammate wasn't able to be there, so they did the competition with just 3. Even though they didn't place this year, they did so good! They have one and a half hours to find out what their show is, then design and build a set for that show inside of a box (using only the random materials they brought with them), as well as write out their thought process and provide detailed sketches. Such creativity!

We appreciate the USDA for providing sample rice dishes to our students yesterday, and to Mayor Ken Jones for dropping by as well!

Over the past several weeks, our school community has walked through an especially heavy season. In the midst of criticism, tension, and heartbreaking loss, we have all been reminded just how deeply our students, staff, families, and community need one another. During this season, we were thankful for a surprise visit from Nick "Sunshine" Tokman, who spoke at our school last spring. Nick stopped by for a couple of hours, and his encouragement, kindness, and positive presence were a gift to our campus at just the right time. Sometimes the simple act of showing up can help lift hearts more than words ever could, and we are truly grateful he did. As we continue moving forward, we remain committed to loving, supporting, and serving our students and one another well. This is a time for compassion, unity, and grace. Thank you to those who have prayed for, encouraged, and stood beside our school family. Brookland is strong, and we will continue to move forward together. #bearcatstrong #togetherweRISE #muchlove #ntsunshine https://nicktokman.com/
