Great job, Broncos! Our students continue to show dedication and perseverance in their i-Ready learning, and it shows in the progress they are making each week. Thank you to our students, teachers, and families for supporting this important work.

⭐ Special congratulations to Mrs. Strange’s class! Every single student met their i-Ready goal last week. That kind of teamwork, effort, and commitment is something to celebrate!

Keep up the great work, Broncos—your hard work is paying off! 🐴💻📚

Hi, Bronco families!

As we close out our month focused on Honesty, students have been learning that telling the truth builds trust, strengthens relationships, and helps us grow from our mistakes. We’ve talked about how honesty isn’t about being perfect—it’s about taking responsibility, repairing harm, and being true to ourselves.

Thank you for continuing these conversations at home and for creating safe spaces where your children feel comfortable telling the truth. Your partnership makes such a difference. 💛

Our iReady Roll Call this week continues to highlight the incredible hard work happening at Brooks Elementary! 💪🐴

This success is not by chance — it’s the result of dedicated teachers creating purposeful learning opportunities, supportive staff cheering students on, and families reinforcing the importance of consistent effort at home. When school and home work together, student growth skyrockets! 🚀

The time students invest in iReady directly strengthens the work they are doing during core instruction in the classroom. Even more importantly, it supports their individual growth goals — helping each Bronco move forward from where they are to where they’re meant to be.

We are so proud of our students for showing perseverance, focus, and commitment to their learning. Keep it up, Broncos — your hard work matters and it makes a difference! 💙✨

🇺🇸📸 Photo Drop from Our 5th Grade History Project! Sharing the pictures from our “Road to the American Revolution” theater project — we couldn’t let these moments go unseen! So proud of the research, creativity, and collaboration our Broncos showed as they brought history to life. 🇺🇸🐴 Enjoy the snapshots! #BroncoPride #TheBESt

🇺🇸🎭 Fifth Grade Brings American History to LIFE! 🎭🇺🇸 Our 5th grade Broncos didn’t just learn about history — they stepped into it! Students researched key events leading up to the American Revolution, collaborated in teams, built their own sets, and fully immersed themselves in the drama and decisions that shaped our nation. From the tension of the Boston Massacre to the bold protest of the Boston Tea Party, and the powerful words of the Declaration of Independence, our students explored “the road to the American Revolution” through theater. They analyzed primary sources, read scripts, designed scenery, and performed for one another — showing what it truly means to be Effective Communicators and Self-Directed Navigators in their learning. This is authentic learning. This is engagement. This is history coming alive at Brooks Elementary. 🇺🇸 Excellence begins here. 🐴✨ #BroncoPride #AmericanHistory #RoadToRevolution #TheBESt #ExcellenceBeginsHere

🌾🐄 HAY DAYS at Brooks Elementary! 🐔🥛 Our Broncos have been digging deep into Kentucky Agriculture, and the past two Hay Days have been INCREDIBLE! Last week, we welcomed the amazing students from North Bullitt High School FFA 🐓🌽. They brought a variety of chickens and taught our students all about chicken farming — from daily care to egg production to what it takes to responsibly raise livestock. Our students were engaged, asking thoughtful questions, and getting a hands-on look at agriculture in action! Yesterday, we rolled out the welcome mat for Southland Dairy Farmers and their Mobile Dairy Classroom 🥛🐄. Students watched and learned about dairy cows, the milking process, farm life, and how milk travels from the farm to our tables. Seeing the cow up close and learning about her daily routine made agriculture come alive in the best way! Both experiences connected directly to Kentucky agriculture and helped our students see the importance of farming in our community and state. 🌾 At Brooks, we don’t just read about learning — we LIVE it. Excellence begins here! #HayDays #KentuckyAg #TheBESt #BroncoPride #ExcellenceBeginsHere 🐴✨

💛 FRYSC Appreciation Week – Celebrating Mrs. Sherri Bishop! 💛

This week across Kentucky we celebrate our Family Resource & Youth Services Centers, and we are especially proud to celebrate our very own Sherri Bishop!

From helping remove barriers so students can focus on learning, to connecting families with resources, to quietly stepping in exactly when someone needs support most — her impact reaches every corner of Brooks Elementary.

Our FRC helps make sure our Broncos are kind, strong, and well, and we are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and care Mrs. Bishop brings to #theBESt each day.

📽️ Check out the slideshow to see just a few of the amazing ways our FRC supports our school community!

This month’s focus is Honesty. One way to think about Honesty is “being truthful in what you say and do.” Practicing Honesty helps strengthen our relationships and even reduces stress.

Honesty is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Well. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like emotion regulation, positive self-talk, and stress-management.

Our read aloud for this week is Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie by Laura Rankin.

Have a great Sunday and we will see our Broncos back tomorrow.
