So What Now? A Letter to My Students

Leave a Comment

A Letter from Mr. Garry Sullivan, Head of Upper and Middle Schools Good evening students, I know the message you received from Mr. Lester yesterday was not what you, or any of us, would have wanted to hear. Online learning will continue for the rest of the school year. As difficult as it was to read, know that it was incredibly difficult for him to write. To my Senior Class of 2020 – We can’t begin to understand the emotions you are experiencing about your senior year being stripped away from you […]

Brookstone Parents say “Thank you!”

Our teachers have truly gone above and beyond in taking what they do in their classrooms every day and moving it online.
