| The Annual Senior Citizen Christmas Luncheon |
Tuesday, December 1st, Brookville Schools hosted their annual Senior Citizen Christmas Luncheon. With a crowd of approximately 170 guests on hand, everyone enjoyed a time of fellowship, an outstanding meal and entertainment by various groups. The school Nutrition Team, led by Food Service Manager Mark Porter, prepared an excellent Christmas themed lunch. The high school band's brass ensemble performed briefly then our second graders put on an outstanding Christmas show. This performance was the highlight of the afternoon.
The program wrapped up with centerpiece door prizes given away and everyone went home full from lunch with a smile on their face.
Numerous community businesses, service clubs, and organizations donated food, money or supplies to make the Senior Citizen Luncheon possible. Hosting this event for these special community members is a favorite program within our school district each year. You can enjoy a gallery of pictures from the luncheon

Superintendent's Corner
Students and staff step up big - 2014-15 State test results are in
|
|
Last year, Ohio schools moved into the Next Generation testing format. Much caution was given that the tests would be more rigorous and a drop in scores should be expected. However, the results are in and Brookville Schools are pleased and proud to announce that we met all 21 of the state's testing standards and achieved high percentages of 'proficient' students at each grade level and content area.
What are the highlights?
-
Brookville had the highest percentage of 6th grade students score proficient or above in both English/Language Arts and Social Studies of
ANY
Montgomery County School District!!
-
As a matter of fact, our 6th graders were in the top 3% of all 610 Ohio school districts in regard to English/Language Arts scores, and;
-
Brookville's passage rate in 6th grade social studies was the
2nd highest in all of Ohio!!
85% of those students scored Accelerated or Advanced
.
-
Brookville was one of only three Montgomery County Districts that had 100% of our student's score proficient or above in Geometry.
-
Brookville stood out as a leader in Montgomery County, finishing with the 2nd highest passage rate in all of the following areas: 6th and 8th grade math; Algebra I; 5th and 8th grade science; 7th ,8th and 9th grade English/Language Arts; and, American Government.
Such results shine a light on the partnership in education between our staff, students and parents. We work diligently to provide the best academic program possible for children. We appreciate the support provided by our parents and we continue to be amazed at the effort given by each student. Congratulations to all, our test results were very good. You can see the percentage of proficient students and county ranking in all testing areas

The North Pole Diaries
A musical performance by our 2nd grade students
|
|
Our second grade students, under the direction of music teacher, Mrs. Brandi Pulver, presented,
North Pole Diaries
, last week to multiple audiences. Not only were the children excited to perform, but the parents, students and community members were entertained and overjoyed by their efforts.
The
North Pole Diaries
is a story about the elves who live at the North Pole and have a secret diary telling how they prepare for Christmas. Mrs. Pulver has worked with the students since mid-October to learn the songs and choreography. Some students had featured solos or speaking parts. Eight children, were featured as "Hip-Hop Reindeer" and attended special rehearsals before school to be sure their dance was perfect.
This musical was performed by approximately 130 second grade students for the Annual Senior Citizen luncheon, again for their parents, friends and relatives and finally, the elementary students and staff. Each performance was wonderful and assisted in bringing the holiday spirit into the school and community. What a great job by Mrs. Pulver and all of the students.
We are happy to highlight some of the performances, both the wonderful singing and some of the speaking parts, at our YouTube channel, which you can access by clicking
here

He's Making a List and Checking it Twice
The Annual Rotary Breakfast with Santa
|
|
|
| Santa and Mrs. Clause have arrived! |
The 17th Annual Breakfast with Santa was held this past Saturday at our Elementary building. The Brookville Rotary Club presents this special morning each December and children are given the opportunity to greet Santa Claus and then spend a few moments sharing with the big guy what is on their Christmas list.
 Along with a good breakfast, there was face painting, pin the nose on Rudolph, and Christmas bingo. Door prizes from the Rotary members and bunches of photo opportunities rounded out the morning. Just across the hallway the elementary PTA hosted their annual Tyke Shop. It was especially nice to see a number of our high school students help with the success of both these programs. You can enjoy a gallery of pictures from the breakfast
here.

The Hour of Code is Almost Here!
Focus on STEM education continues...
|
Brookville Intermediate School will continue the focus on providing STEM opportunities for students with an Hour of Code this Wednesday, December 9th. In an after school program (2:30 to 4 p.m.) themed "Playing with Computer Science" students will have the chance to learn computer coding, complete a code activity and print off a certificate at www.HourofCode.com.
As a special treat, students will then be given time to spend playing with a Sphero Robot, Hummingbird Robot Kits, and a Makey-Makey. Don't know what that is, you say? They all involve computer programming!!
This event will really allow students to focus on careers and coding. Make plans today for your BIS student to attend (snacks will be provided by the BIS parent group) and open their world to STEM career opportunities. For more information on the Hour of Code, please click
