- Pre- or post-game gatherings (tailgates, celebrations, etc) are prohibited. Families may only interact with their athlete and should refrain from physical contact.
Specific family viewing sections have been set up at each venue, and are designated with a red sign:

If our opponents will be live-streaming or posting a game for viewing after the event we will notify you.

Prom is Coming!
Brooks is happy to announce that we will be holding prom on a boat in Boston for our fifth- and sixth-form students on May 23. Students will take pictures on campus at 4 p.m. and leave for Boston via bus at 5:15 p.m. In Boston, they will board the Odyssey, which will take them on a harbor cruise. The prom will include dinner and dancing, and we hope that all of our fifth- and sixth-form students will attend.
Tickets are being sold at lunch this week, until May 1, for $80 and all students will purchase their own ticket. Students can pay for their ticket at the school store using their school account or a credit card. (They will get a receipt from the school store and bring that to the school prefects on duty at lunch). We will have a representative from Gibley’s Tuxedos coming to campus next week for fittings. Students can pay for their tuxedo using cash, check or credit card.
Your help in supporting this year's prom will allow the fifth and sixth form to enjoy a fun evening on the Odyssey in Boston. In an effort to make the evening special, and to keep the cost of individual tickets as low as possible, we are seeking voluntary support from members of the Brooks community. If you are interested, please click here to see how you can help. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Laura Hajdukiewicz at studentactivities@brooksschool.org. Thank you!
