Brookstone Alums in Athens

Leave a Comment

Our Alumni Office took a trip to the University of Georgia last week to take a few of our young alumni out to dinner! Because once a Cougar, always a Cougar – and what college student doesn’t love a free meal! The best part about being a part of the Brookstone family is that you are ALWAYS a part of the Brookstone family! Just to give you one example, the parents of one of our young alumni pictured above, sent Meg Godfrey, our Alumni Coordinator, to Athens with some things […]

Over spring break, 27 energetic Upper School students joined our two college counselors, Frances Berry and Jon Terrell, for our 18th Annual College Tour. That’s right! 18 years of college tours. That is impressive. Each year, our college counseling office takes a group of students to visit more than a dozen colleges on one of three routes. The 2019 tour focused on many of the schools in the Carolinas – going to 14 in total! That’s 14 schools in one week! Furman University Clemson University Wofford College University of South […]

The Buddy Bench

Leave a Comment

We are so grateful to donors who continue to pour back into our school! Thank you to former parents and now current grandparents, Molly and Claude Scarbrough, who wanted to donate a “Buddy Bench!” The whole idea behind the Buddy Bench is simple – to foster friendships and inclusivity amongst our students! So if a student doesn’t have anyone to play with on the playground, they are to go and sit on the bench and wait! Other students are being taught to take notice and then join their friend on […]

Graduation Festivities Begin!

Leave a Comment

Wednesday, we kicked off graduation week in full swing! It began with our yearbook assembly! Presented to the students by yearbook editor, Sarah Beth Amos, this year’s theme was “Blueprints.” In her remarks, Sarah Beth said, “This year’s theme is “Blueprints”. If you have ever watched the progress of a major construction project, you may know that it starts with a blueprint. A blueprint is defined as photographic print in blue on white; a detailed plan used as a model to provide guidance. That seemed to us to perfectly represent […]

Seniors’ Last Day!

Leave a Comment

Yesterday was a bittersweet day as it was the last day of school for our seniors- barring AP exams. And to celebrate the occasion, they donned t-shirts sporting their college or university choice for the next year! Not everyone is pictured, but it was fun to snap a few! So in the coming months, these kids might be saying, “Go Dawgs,” “War Eagle,” “Go Cavs” or “Go Bobcats,” but they will always be Cougars to us! The Class of 2018 has indeed made us proud and we know great things […]

Cuts for a Cure

Leave a Comment

This past week, Brookstone once again hosted Cuts for a Cure, the national effort in which women and men donate their hair to make natural wigs for people suffering from cancer. Started in 2012 by Kate Wilson, Class of 2014, this event has become an incredible opportunity for students to give back in one of the most personal of ways. Kate, inspired by her own mother’s battle with breast cancer, was able to attend this year’s program as well. Click here to watch the WRBL news report from the event. This […]

A Reunion in the Air

Leave a Comment

Brookstone teachers are the best around and the way they invest in our students lives is simply unsurpassed. Relationships here at school truly do last a lifetime! When we say we are a family – we mean it! So what an awesome surprise when a former student and teacher ran into each other a mile in the sky! Avery Hudson, Class of 2013, who now works as a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, was thrilled to have her former middle school Latin teacher, Linda Wallman, on one of her recent […]
