Brooks Together
We would like to thank all our families who so graciously took in our boarding students while the power was out; you truly pulled together and demonstrated the generosity of spirit that is Brooks School. As we get back to our daily routine, we would like to thank all our parents who have donated to the Brooks Fund. If you haven't yet made your gift for Brooks Together, the eight-week drive that focuses on parent donations to the Brooks Fund, please click here to show your support. Thank you!
