Brooks Thanksgiving Food Drive

Happy November everyone! Let’s make sure that all Brooks families have food on the table this Thanksgiving. Please consider donating some of the non-perishable food items requested by our school social worker, Ms. Lusk. These will go directly to the 40 families who need them. Sign up here: Food drive sign up genius

The food can be left anytime on the porch at 16 W Glendale. I will also have a table to collect donations at Brooks morning dropoff on Friday November 11th.

The last day we can receive your donations is Sunday, November 13!

On behalf of Ms. Lusk, we are thankful to all of you for your generosity and kindness!

Any donation, great or small, is always appreciated.

Brooks Celebrates Black History Month

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of Black Americans in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.

This month, the Brooks PTA is proud to honor our school’s namesake Naomi L. Brooks. We are honored to have her name on our school building and will work hard to carry on her traditions of service and community involvement.

Naomi Lewis Brooks
April 14, 1934 – May 21, 2020
