Brooks Elementary

🇺🇸📸 Photo Drop from Our 5th Grade History Project! Sharing the pictures from our “Road to the American Revolution” theater project — we couldn’t let these moments go unseen! So proud of the research, creativity, and collaboration our Broncos showed as they brought history to life. 🇺🇸🐴 Enjoy the snapshots! #BroncoPride #TheBESt

🇺🇸🎭 Fifth Grade Brings American History to LIFE! 🎭🇺🇸 Our 5th grade Broncos didn’t just learn about history — they stepped into it! Students researched key events leading up to the American Revolution, collaborated in teams, built their own sets, and fully immersed themselves in the drama and decisions that shaped our nation. From the tension of the Boston Massacre to the bold protest of the Boston Tea Party, and the powerful words of the Declaration of Independence, our students explored “the road to the American Revolution” through theater. They analyzed primary sources, read scripts, designed scenery, and performed for one another — showing what it truly means to be Effective Communicators and Self-Directed Navigators in their learning. This is authentic learning. This is engagement. This is history coming alive at Brooks Elementary. 🇺🇸 Excellence begins here. 🐴✨ #BroncoPride #AmericanHistory #RoadToRevolution #TheBESt #ExcellenceBeginsHere

🌾🐄 HAY DAYS at Brooks Elementary! 🐔🥛 Our Broncos have been digging deep into Kentucky Agriculture, and the past two Hay Days have been INCREDIBLE! Last week, we welcomed the amazing students from North Bullitt High School FFA 🐓🌽. They brought a variety of chickens and taught our students all about chicken farming — from daily care to egg production to what it takes to responsibly raise livestock. Our students were engaged, asking thoughtful questions, and getting a hands-on look at agriculture in action! Yesterday, we rolled out the welcome mat for Southland Dairy Farmers and their Mobile Dairy Classroom 🥛🐄. Students watched and learned about dairy cows, the milking process, farm life, and how milk travels from the farm to our tables. Seeing the cow up close and learning about her daily routine made agriculture come alive in the best way! Both experiences connected directly to Kentucky agriculture and helped our students see the importance of farming in our community and state. 🌾 At Brooks, we don’t just read about learning — we LIVE it. Excellence begins here! #HayDays #KentuckyAg #TheBESt #BroncoPride #ExcellenceBeginsHere 🐴✨

💛 FRYSC Appreciation Week – Celebrating Mrs. Sherri Bishop! 💛

This week across Kentucky we celebrate our Family Resource & Youth Services Centers, and we are especially proud to celebrate our very own Sherri Bishop!

Mrs. Bishop is a champion for our students, families, and staff every single day. From helping remove barriers so students can focus on learning, to connecting families with resources, to quietly stepping in exactly when someone needs support most — her impact reaches every corner of Brooks Elementary.

Our FRC helps make sure our Broncos are kind, strong, and well, and we are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and care Mrs. Bishop brings to #theBESt each day.

📽️ Check out the slideshow to see just a few of the amazing ways our FRC supports our school community!

💬 If Mrs. Bishop has made a difference for your family, we’d love for you to drop a note of appreciation below!

Excellence begins here — because of people like Mrs. Bishop. 💛🐎

This month’s focus is Honesty. One way to think about Honesty is “being truthful in what you say and do.” Practicing Honesty helps strengthen our relationships and even reduces stress.

Honesty is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Well. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like emotion regulation, positive self-talk, and stress-management.

Our read aloud for this week is Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie by Laura Rankin.

Happy Super Bowl Weekend! Reminder- we DO have school on MONDAY! Here is our Family Newsletter 2/7/26. https://sites.google.com/bullitt.kyschools.us/broncobulletin24-25/bronco-bulletin?authuser=0

What a GREAT first full week back at school! We are so proud of our students for jumping right back into learning and showing strong effort in their iReady lessons. Your hard work, focus, and persistence are paying off — and it shows! 👏

Because of your amazing work this week, students who met their goals will start next week leveled up on their classroom Leadership Chart! Keep showing what it means to be leaders in learning.

Families — thank you for continuing to encourage practice, perseverance, and goal-setting at home. We see the difference it makes every single day.

Let’s keep the momentum going, Broncos! 🐎

📢 iReady Roll Call — Better Late Than Never! 💻❄️

We owe you an apology for the late post — but this one was too important to skip!

Last week brought NTI days and snow days, and these students still showed up, logged in, and got their learning done. That takes dedication, responsibility, and serious Bronco leadership.

These students completed their iReady lessons from home and kept their progress moving forward when it would have been easy to pause. That’s what leaders do — they stay focused, even when things look different.

We are so proud of you for modeling what it means to be Kind, Strong, and Well — the Bronco Way in action.

Families — thank you for supporting learning at home during NTI and weather days. Your partnership makes all the difference.
