For the first time in the history of Brookstone Schools, we have an 8th grade class! Ms. Rebecca Essah came onboard as the 8th grade teacher. She took a few minutes to answer the questions below:

What one word best describes the group?
Peaceful

What are the students currently learning?  
Motion, Speed, Scientific Method

Describe a moment that you won't forget this school year.
The first class skit that the students did for History Class. During this assignment, I was privileged to witness these students learn to work together, come out of their own shells and personalities, and use their various gifts and talents to accomplish the task at hand. It was a pleasure to watch them develop as leaders, and I thoroughly enjoyed their finished product!

The 8th grade class studied the country of Turkey for our recent Nations Day event. Students researched the Turkish culture, clothing, foods, flag, religions and presented the information for guests who were visiting.

We are grateful for the Lord's provision in allowing Brookstone to expand to the 8th grade, and we pray many blessings on this group of talented and bright individuals.
