The Best is Yet to Come!
It’s been a great first week at school, but the best is yet to come! Enjoy this video made by Leigh Anne Floyd, our Lower School Principal! We sure do love these kids!
Summer Time 2019
It’s been a busy summer for our students and faculty alike! From trips and travel to teacher and team training, summer days were spent in a variety of ways! Here are just a few highlighted below!
Celebrating our Military Children
If you had been on campus a few weeks ago in April, you would see have seen our students and faculty decked out in purple! Now Brookstone colors are blue and white, but we donned our purple to celebrate our military kids! Purple Up! April is Month of the Military Child and we want to make sure ours know they are loved and supported! As children of our service men and women, they make sacrifices many of us will never fully understand. And why purple? Purple is the color that […]
Seniors in the Classrooms
On the 13th annual Upper School Day of Service, as our students were spread across the community in partnership with local organizations, our seniors had a special service opportunity as they worked in our own Lower and Intermediate school classrooms with students. And as one who was able to observe the interactions in the various classrooms, let me just tell you that I’ve never seen anything so precious in all my life. It was AWESOME! The teachers loved it, the seniors loved it, and the little ones loved it. One […]

Back here on campus, our 10th Grade class held a special carnival for our friends at Easter Seals. Students were paired one on one with our […]

Agri-ColGa Plants Gardens at Fox
The Agri-Colga student group from Brookstone spent time recently filling the planting beds at our partner school, Fox Elementary! These upper school students are mentoring Fox students this spring teaching them how to grow their own healthy vegetables at their school. Students in the program, initiated and led by senior Emma Yancey, will go to Fox once a week after school to work with a designated group of students. We can’t see what “grows” out of this beautiful partnership!

Actual Upper School Insights
Sometimes there are so many great things going on to share them all, so consider this a compilation of a few, but not all, of things going on in the Upper School! Mrs. Lumsden’s AP Environmental class took a field trip to the local marina looking for macro invertebrates and also because of the large amount of solid waste pollution, did a clean up while there. They found mussels and a few fish, but very few macro invertebrates. They then decided to follow up with a water quality test. As […]
