Senior Mentor “Virtual” Breakfast

1 Comment

Like everything else associated with graduation and the traditions involved, the Senior Mentor Breakfast, sponsored by our Brookstone Parents Association, looked different this year. However, even though we were unable to gather and celebrate with our seniors and their mentors, our scheduled speaker, Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, still wanted to share some thoughts with the seniors, one of whom is his nephew. You can click the video below to view his remarks. Dear Class of 2020, We are so proud of you and the things you’ve accomplished during your time […]

“Beloved Community”

1 Comment

As I scrolled through pictures on my phone this weekend, I smiled when I came across the memories of our visit to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Atlanta this past February. This trip was exciting in that we all headed out of town to visit a museum dedicated to a person who had made and continues to make an unforgettable mark on us as individuals, as a community, and as a larger society. Dr. King believed in what he called the “Beloved Community.” He defined the beloved […]

Sending Love to Our Seniors on Prom Night

1 Comment

The annual Brookstone Junior/Senior Prom was supposed to be last weekend, but due to the COVID-19 virus, had to be canceled. Still, our juniors wanted our seniors to know how much they were loved, so they sent them a little video shout out!  They also asked some of the senior teachers to deliver Prom gift bags that included their official Prom invitation and a few little keepsakes. It was more than just delivering the goodies, it was the sentiment behind it! We love our seniors and we join them in mourning all the milestones they are having to miss! One of the sweetest moments was captured on camera, featuring Senior Grade Chair, Dee Dee Branham and senior Parker Hicks. Parker’s father writes below: One of the best decisions my wife and I ever made was to send our children to Brookstone School. Just a few minutes ago our doorbell rang. We live in the middle of nowhere, so the doorbell ringing is a big deal. I opened the door to find Dee Dee Branham standing there with a gift for Parker. Tonight was supposed to be Parker’s senior prom. She delivered what was supposed to be the gifts from the junior class. Parker jumped up as soon as he heard Dee Dee’s voice — and with no thought just ran and hugged her. This is the most emotional I have felt through all of this — and I will be […]
