The Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce has partnered with several businesses in the area to host the TEKSTARZ camp for 7th and 8th graders. The date of the camp is June 5-8. This is a wonderful opportunity to expose your students to careers in Northeast Arkansas.
I have volunteered to assist this year with the camp. The Chamber only has space for 22 students. The spots are filling up quickly. They will accept students on a first come first serve basis. A representative from the Chamber will be on campus on May 10th during homeroom (7th period) to show a short video and answer questions. If your student wants to learn more, please let me know, or if you want to hold a spot then email me and I will get an application sent home. The $20 is not required for students to attend. The Chamber has a few sponsors if students cannot pay.
Just a reminder that "Keep Brookland Beautiful" is this Saturday @ 10:00am. See flyer below for additional information.

If you are looking for something to do tomorrow evening, come out and see what Brookland Jazz has been cooking up!
Brookland Jazz consists of two ability-based ensembles, Jazz 2 and Jazz Cats. Jazz 2 is a developmental band where students learn the basic styles of jazz band, as well as improvisation. Most of these students are also learning to play a secondary instrument during this time. Jazz 2 is under the direction of Mr. Terry Hogard. Jazz Cats is our top band that consists of students that have developed their jazz musicianship enough to play more complex music. The Jazz Cats are under the direction of Mr. Jesse Lyons.
Our concert, “Swingin’ Into Spring,” will be held tomorrow, April 18 at 7pm in the Brookland Auditorium. Admission is free to all who wish to attend. Come out and support live music performed by some incredible student musicians! We hope to see you there.🎶🎷🎺
Today's Special Olympics Pep Rally was amazing! Thank you students and faculty for supporting and encouraging our athletes!
