We had a terrific visit with author Carmen Deedy this week. Thank you PTA Cultural Arts for bringing this wonderful storyteller to Brookwood. She spoke to all grade levels and the kids and teachers so enjoyed their time listening to her fabulous tales and learning about the writing process.

The Soul Project

The Soul Project - Brookwood Elementary is collecting used or new shoes again for The Soul Project. Their belief is that every person deserves to have a decent pair of shoes on their feet.  Since 2007, The Soul Project has been providing free shoes to children and adults.  Shoes help to prevent the spread of parasitic diseases that plague over 300 Million people around the world. Brookwood Elementary will have bins at the front entrance to collect shoes March 17 - April 4. www.soulprojectint.org
