Thank You, Brooks Parents!
With final preparations in progress for Tuesday's Sundae Summer Send-Off, we want to send out a special thank you to our generous, talented, and dedicated parents! You participated so often and in so many ways to help make each of this year's parent-sponsored events a huge success. Students, faculty, and staff were delighted by the sweets tables overflowing with delicious goodies as well as the amazing raffle prizes. Even amid COVID challenges, you found safe and fun ways to spread cheer throughout our campus. Your collective efforts — planning, supplying treats, underwriting gift cards, decorating and staffing tables, creating gift baskets, and more — were impressive and much appreciated.

It will be difficult to top this year's events, but we'll start planning over the summer to give it a try. If you would like to help to plan or staff any of next year's events, please contact Jessie Kelleher P'24 or Director of the Brooks Fund and Family Engagement Mary Merrill. Some of our planning takes place via Zoom, and we'd love to have you join us whether you live near or far from campus. Many thanks, Brooks parents!

Student Work Permits
Brooks School is not authorized to issue working permits for young adults seeking summer employment. Please contact the local high school or superintendent's office in your hometown or city to acquire these documents. As each city or town has different requirements, students may be asked to show their school ID or a recent report card. More information and links to state requirements can be found in OnBrooks > Community Information > Topics> Student Work Permits. For more information, please contact Registrar Lisa Saunders.
Sixth-Form Medical Records
The Health and Wellness Center will be mailing home copies of the most up-to-date immunization records for all graduating seniors. Please keep an eye out for these in the coming weeks as many colleges and employers will need this documentation.
