Brook Bulletin

Edition #15

From the Principal's Desk

Dear Wolverine Nation:

We are entering the final week before Thanksgiving Break and I want to encourage our students to finish this week strong - making great choices each day! Let's keep the focus on learning, stay on task in classes, and continue showing the excellent character that makes Brook an exceptional place.

This week is extra special as we celebrate our annual Mix-It-Up Week! Originally a national campaign launched by Teaching Tolerance in 2002, Mix It Up encourages students to break down social barriers by sitting with someone new during lunch. Over the years at Clear Brook, we have taken it a step further and extended Mix It Up Day to an entire week of activities.

Throughout the week, our lunchtime will be filled with opportunities for students and staff to connect with new faces, share experiences, and build a community of Tolerance, Acceptance, Diversity, and Kindness. These experiences remind us of the value of inclusion and help us celebrate the rich diversity that makes Brook so unique. Additionally, teachers will incorporate various activities within their classrooms to promote a stronger and connected school community!

We’re proud of our students and staff for embracing this chance to “mix it up” and grow together. Since Excellence is our DNA and evident in everything we do, let's remember that greatness also comes from kindness, understanding, and a spirit of unity.

Together, we remain committed to our campus theme: We are Sparking Excellence - Empowering Every Wolverine for a Future Beyond Boundaries.

Have a fantastic week, Brook Wolverines! Let's make it a memorable one.

JOIN OUR PTA

We value the contributions of our campus PTA. Clear Brook's PTA offers our students opportunities for college scholarships, Red Ribbon Week support, school supplies, and much more. They also advocate at the national and state level for public education and student rights. Communities need great schools, and schools need great advocates.

Our PTA cannot function without parent membership and involvement. We'd love to have as many families as possible join this year. Would you take a few moments to scan the QR code or access the website and make CLEAR BROOK HIGH SCHOOL your choice to support?

Thank you for making a DIFFERENCE!!
