Brooker Creek Elementary Update - Week of 3/31/25
Please take a moment this week to celebrate your child’s grades and conduct for the 3rd grading period. We are so very proud that so many students are continuing to strive to improve their academic performance at Brooker Creek.
Thank you as always for all of your support and encouragement of our students.
We are just about to enter the final testing/assessment season for the 2024-2025 academic year. Below you will see a calendar that outlines what assessments will be given on which days. This is a general overview of the schedule. Individual grade level testing/assessment letters and exact testing dates will be sent home by your student(s) homeroom teachers as the specific dates get closer.
To help ease some of testing anxiety and stress for our staff, we are hoping to stock the lounge with testing treats throughout April and May. Please see the image next to this text with specific details. All contributions will be greatly appreciated. You can have your student bring in the items or you can drop items off in the front office. Please make sure items are labeled for Mrs. Gerber or Stock the Lounge. We are hoping to get a good supply of healthy and non-healthy snacks and beverages for the staff.
If you have any questions regarding testing/assessments or the stock the lounge drive, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Thanks for your continued support of our students and staff.
Mrs. Gerber

It is Mrs. Hickman’s pleasure to recognize Max Richey as Brooker Creek’s East Lake Sunrise Rotary Club Student of the Month for March as he is such a delightful young man. Max consistently demonstrates responsibility, determination, and respect in all areas of his school day. Max joined our Bobcat community in August when his family moved from Canada and quickly became a leader and sought after friend among his fellow peers. In class collaborative groups he takes initiative of the tasks, explains to his group, and facilitates the next moves. He does so with kindness and encouragement that each are heard. He is quite welcoming with his words and actions that it’s no wonder so many enjoy his company. Outside of school Max enjoys playing second base and shortstop for his Kangaroo Courts travel baseball team. He says he’s been playing baseball since he was five. Lastly, he is happy to be here in FL as it means he sees more of his grandparents and cousins in Bradenton. Max’s friendly disposition and “can do” attitude contribute to his success as an outstanding student! Congratulations Max!
