Chloe the Reading Dog brought Christmas Cheer to Brookstone

Chloe the Reading Dog made a special appearance yesterday for the students at Brookstone. The elementary school gathered in the gym to listen to several Christmas stories, read by Mrs. Montgomery, followed by a delicious treat of doughnuts!

Chloe and Mrs. Montgomery are a huge blessing to the students here. Every other week, they visit the students and Chloe listens to the students read without correction or judgment. Reading to Chloe gives the students more confidence in their reading abilities and as a result they make greater strides at becoming excellent readers.

Birthday Party for Jesus

On December 7, Uptown Church hosted a Birthday Party for Jesus at Brookstone School! It was a wonderful party filled with face painting, games, and celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The students had a blast participating in all the Christmas activities. Check out some of the pictures from this amazing event:

The students enjoyed playing a variety of different games.

One of the favorite games was the sack race.

The Birthday Party for Jesus was such a blessing to our students and their families. We are thankful for all the hard work the volunteers did to make this party such a success!
