Dustin has been teaching for 5 years. He started his first year at Santaquin Elementary and then moved to his favorite job yet,at Brookside Elementary. He loves it so much that he will be a lifer here, as long as he gets to keep his big windowed classroom ;)
Brookside elementary students brought in a lot of canned goods today in their Santa Hats and then were able to wear their hats the rest of the day. This week we are collecting goods for Tabatha's Way. Tomorrow students can donation sweaters and coats and wear their ugly Christmas sweaters for the day. Our collection for the refuges continues as well until Wednesday with Lifting Hands International. They need girls and boys underwear, baby diapers and wipes, and blankets.

Monday Message for December 11, 2017
Dear Parents,
Our student council is sponsoring a “Christmas Spirit Week”, December 18-21. During this week we are going to have dress up days along with a coordinating service focus. The schedule is as follows:
Monday, December 18 – “Can” you fill Santa’s Hat?
We had a large Brookside choir this year that had their performance last week. We were also asked to perform in November at Reams for their holiday open house. Thank you to all the parents and students that participated this year to make it one of the best and largest choirs we have ever had. A big thank you to Tami Evans for being the choir director and Mrs. Ann Gallagher for being the pianist.
At Brookside Elementary we are finishing up the year with many students going above and beyond in doing praiseworthy acts. Corbin Moore helped Mrs.
Mrs. Ramos' 3rd grade class made some cute art by tearing construction paper into different shapes.
Here at Brookside on our tree in the office area are hand ornaments with a gift suggestion for a refugee child. We are doing this with Lifting Hands International which ships donations directly to refugee children in Jordan and Lebanon. The process is simple: Choose a hand off the tree, bring the gift back by December 20 and share the word with friends and family. Needed items are baby wipes, diapers, fleece blankets, boys underwear and girls underwear, socks, pants, and sweaters. You can visit: www.liftinghandsinternational.org for more ideas on how to help.
