Dear Parents,

I hope you and your families had a wonderful fall break and that you were able to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and colors.

Picture retakes are Tomorrow. If you would like your students to get retakes, please send their picture packets with them tomorrow. 

On Thursday after school, we will be having SEP conferences. Teachers have sent out sign-ups so please take the time to schedule an appointment for you and your student to meet with their teacher. Thank you!

The Halloween parade has been scheduled for October 31st. Our sixth grade classes will be performing “Thriller” at 2:30 with the parade starting immediately after. Please park in the school’s parking lot or on side streets. Please do not use Reams parking lot. Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school that day, but masks can only be worn during the parade. In consideration of our younger students, please make sure costumes and masks are modest and not gory. PM kindergarten will participate in the afternoon school parade at 2:40 pm. AM kindergarten will parade their costumes at 9:15 am through the kindergarten hallway. Please contact your student’s kindergarten teacher if you have any other questions or need additional information.

FYI -- October 26th is Prescription Drug Take Back Day at the Springville Library from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. This is a great opportunity to turn in your unused or expired medication for safe disposal.

Thanks again for all you do to support Brookside and your child’s education. Have a great week!

Dana Beckert

Principal, Brookside Elementary

It's a short week but students still had time to do great acts around our school. Mrs. Graves class had 100% attendance for the whole week, way to go students!. Brooklyn Welsch has been busy at home practicing the alphabet and her additional subtraction math facts, Cody Pulham offered to help another student finish a project, Porter Yeagley offered to help another student feel better when he is feeling anxious, Audrey Moore works hard to be respectful and helpful in class, Averee LeRoy was really quiet and respectful in specials when the class was being rowdy, and German Ramos was really quiet and respectful in the library even when the rest of the class was not.

On October 9, the Fifth Graders went on a field trip to the Curiosity Museum at Thanksgiving Point.  It was a cold and windy day but that didn’t stop them from exploring the Discovery Gardens. They also had fun at the Waterworks, the Rainforest, and Kidopolis.  We were lucky to find that the traveling feature was an American Adventure. Students could travel the maze with a life board and see if they could survive in 1607.  We just finished studying the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Jamestown and the 13 original colonies. We all worked and played together and were exhausted when we got back.

We took a fun field trip to Rowley's Red Barn in Santaquin last week! All of the first grade went. We got to pick our own apples and eat them. We also got to learn about how they grow all their fruit trees on their farm. We got to play on all the awesome things they had set up for their fall festivities and we got sent home with a delicious donut. We had a blast!

In Miss Bird’s fifth grade social studies class, we have been learning about the 13 colonies.  The students were given a colony and asked to research the colony learning when it became a colony, who founded it, what was the major industries, and what was the geography like.  After their research, students created colony balloons and shared their findings with the rest of the class. These fifth graders loved this assignment, constantly asking when is social studies.

  • We will be having the Reflections assembly Wednesday, October 16th, at 10:00 am. You will be notified if your student’s entry has won in its category. Thank you for supporting this program and encouraging the arts.

  • Fall break is Thursday and Friday, October 17th and 18th. There will be no school on those days. We hope you have a wonderful break!

  • Picture retakes will be Tuesday, October 22nd. Sixth graders will be going on a field trip that day so they will be able to get their pictures taken before school. Students who will be getting retakes will need to bring in the picture packets they received in September.

Thank you, Dana Beckert

Ms.  Shelley Wright is one of our fabulous fourth grade teachers.  Here are a few things you should know about her. 

Her favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry cheesecake.

Her favorite zoo animal is butterflies.

On weekends, she usually cleans her house or work.

If Ms. Wright was given $1000, she would most definitely buy books.  

Her favorite thing to teach every year would be: Science and Social Studies.

What is the best thing about your job?  She said, “learning with students.”
