🙌 Community Spotlight 🙌
Today we’re celebrating Charles Sondergeld, Jr. of Charlie Sondergeld Services for his unwavering support of Brooks Elementary and for living out our Core Value Students Matter Most while exemplifying what it means to be a Productive Collaborator.
For the past two years, Mr. Sondergeld has served faithfully on BES' Site-Based Decision Making Council, but his impact extends far beyond that. Whether he’s helping shape key decisions, pitching in at school events, or asking, “What do you need to make that happen?”, Charles brings heart, follow-through, and generosity to everything he does.
From supporting clubs and family nights to making a brand new playground slide possible, he’s always working behind the scenes to create more joy and opportunity for our students.
Thank you, Mr. Sondergeld, for showing up, stepping in, and helping Brooks Elementary grow and thrive. 💙
