The senior/faculty competition continues! Today, the faculty took on our seniors and they WON! It was a hard fought game for sure, but both teams played hard! This is always one of my favorite events. The camaraderie between teachers and students is one of the most special aspects of our school. I just love this place.
Every year, the seniors and faculty spend the spring locked in a fierce competition! Yesterday was the annual “Grill-Off!” Seniors G Barnes, Andrew Ogletree, Stuart Sherrer, and Frank Waldrep went head to head over the best burger with Jacob Crowder and Jimmy Thompson. Our admin team got to stand in as the un-biased judges! It was truly a tough competition, as both were delicious, but the seniors pulled out the victory! Their burgers were DELICIOUS!
It’s a comment we hear all the time from visitors…our cafeteria food is delicious. There are so many options, so many choices, you can always find something to eat! It’s also healthy – which is something that Sage Dining, our cafeteria vendor, works very hard to ensure. Not only did they receive a perfect score of 100 from the surprise health inspector earlier this week, but they seek to educate our students on making healthy choices every day through their Spotlight Program. All of our food entrees and items are […]
Sometimes there is so much athletic news to share it can be hard to keep up with it all! So we’ll start with the most recent news! Tennis! Congratulations to our girls tennis team! Earlier this week, they defeated Stratford in the girls finals at the Area Tournament in Macon! Sophomores Gracie Hemmings and Sammi Rice were named to the All-Area singles team and sophomore Lillie Patton and senior Abigail Pitts were named to the All-Area doubles team! Coach Mary Lynne Cumiskey was unable to make it to the tournament, but she was […]
What an honor to announce that today, Abbie Dillon and Abigail Pitts represented Brookstone at the 2nd Annual Columbus Valley High School Female Athletes of the Year Awards luncheon ceremony where over 40 female athletes from across the Chattahoochee Valley were recognized. Both Abigail and Abbie invited Dr. Cheruiyot as their special guest to attend the luncheon with them. Not only did they both receive trophies for being named top female athletes for Brookstone, but Abbie Dillon was also named the AFLAC Female Student of the Year! What a great day for […]
One of my favorite events every year, our annual Cub Track meet was held yesterday! It was a little rainy, but nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of our little athletes. And nothing is more precious than our high school students working right alongside our lower school students. Coaching, encouraging and cheering them on – watching our teenagers interact with our younger students is one of my absolute favorite things about Brookstone! Go Cougs!
For the past seven years Brookstone School has collaborated with Columbus State University in offering a Spring Break trip to Oxford, England and a stay in the Spencer House. Both Brookstone and Columbus State University have benefited from the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Spencer over the years, and having access to the home they made available to CSU has been wonderful. This annual educational trip is a student favorite and offers the opportunity to visit many well known sites in Oxford and beyond. Highlights of the 2017 trip […]
Mrs. Cile Bone’s art class has recently had the privilege to work with local artist, Garry Pound, creating a collage representing one of the paintings from his book, Oliviatown. The group’s work is now part of an amazing exhibit of Dr. Pound’s work, and that of his artist parents, which kicked off Artbeat and will hang at the Bradley Museum downtown for two months. Today these kids got to tour the exhibit, hear Dr. Pound discuss his work, and ask him questions. It was quite an opportunity!
Every year, our College Office takes students on a College Tour to see college and university campuses all across the country. This year, over spring break, about 30 kids loaded up on a bus and began the trek north to the Virginia/Washington, DC area to visit some of the most beautiful campuses and prestigious schools in the country. This year, they visited 9 schools, including the University of Richmond and the University of Mary Washington, Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Virginia, Washington and Lee, James Madison University, George Mason University, […]
It is a privilege to be part of a school community that so values partnering with parents to raise their children. Recently, we were thrilled to have Tim Elmore, nationally acclaimed author, speaker, and parenting expert back on campus talking to both students and parents. We have long used his “Habitutdes” leadership curriculum in our classrooms, so to be able to meet with him one on one is an exciting opportunity! Thank you to our Brookstone Parents Association for helping fund this event! We are grateful!
