Brookland's A\V program is growing by leaps and bounds. Today, students were out and about filming for video segments they are editing in class. Students get to use industry standard programs and equipment to create digital content.

Parents- If you notice a cafeteria charge for "fruit" on your child's cafeteria account, note that this is actually ice cream or frozen dessert. The new cafeteria computer system does not currently have a category for ice cream/frozen dessert so "fruit" is being used. They are working to add the new category. This only effects students in grades 3-12.

We would like to thank the following group of people for their immediate and caring response to the 7th grade student who sustained a neck injury during football practice this morning: Football coaching staff, nurses, athletic trainer, Security Director, Command Center Director, SRO's, local EMT's, flight crew, and Brookland Police Department. The student was able to move all extremities and is being flown to Le Bonheur in Memphis as a precaution to be examined thoroughly for possible nerve damage. We ask that you please keep this student and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
