Thank You Project
As we begin the final push to the Thanksgiving break, several of you have asked what you can do to show your appreciation for Brooks' faculty and staff. In good times and in challenging times they teach, encourage, guide and support. They have put in countless extra hours and handled this year's challenges with flexibility and patience. This year truly is unlike any other -- and the same can be said of our faculty and staff! A simple thank you is often the most meaningful and powerful way to express appreciation.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, please take a few moments to write a personal thank you to an individual, a department or to the entire faculty and staff to express your gratitude for their work. Write as many as you like using this Thank You Project form. Notes will be shared either individually or as a group. Thank you!

AIM Survey Reminder
A vital piece in our ongoing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work at Brooks School is processing honest feedback from those within our student, parent, faculty, trustee and alumni constituencies.
If you have not yet had the chance to respond, please take a few moments by Nov. 19 to respond to The National Association of Independent Schools' Assessment of Inclusivity and Multiculturalism. Click to access the survey in English and in Spanish.
This comprehensive survey will allow us to benchmark Brooks’ climate of inclusion, both past and present, and help us strategically become a more equitable community for all its members. If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please contact either Dean of Community Life Ashley Johnston or Assistant to the Head of School and Director of Special Projects Mary Ellen Yates.

Grazie, Parents!
Thanks to the generosity of so many parents this fall, we were able to offer all boarding students to a pizza break to help them push through to Thanksgiving break! Half of campus enjoyed the treat last night and the rest will receive their delivery this evening. Thank you again for your amazing support!

Students Take Us Inside "Sleepy Hollow"
Spooky, wooded paths. Shadowy moonlight. A murder mystery . . . Brooks' production of Sleepy Hollow fit the theme of its Halloween weekend outdoor performances like a glove (an article of clothing coincidentally needed on opening night when it snowed)! Click to read Our Pandemic Production story about students' favorite parts of the "immersive theatre experience" and see a preview of the show recording. A full Sleepy Hollow video will be released next week.
