Saying goodbye to Lester Street



For three years, Brookstone Schools has called 2414 Lester Street in Charlotte our home. As of December 12th 2014, our new home will be at 301 South Davidson in the Educational Center of First Baptist Church.

With any relocation, there's excitement and hopefulness about the future. At the same time, there's sadness for leaving a place that holds special memories. Many students experienced their first day of school here; wrote their first sentences; learned the complexities of the multiplication tables. For some, they learned to play violin within these walls. Unique milestones will be remembered and we thank God for His love and protection in this space. God loving provides for Brookstone. Although the address may change; the comforting promise of His provision is lasting.


Sweet Potato Pancake Breakfast

Ms.Kathleen and Ms. Elizabeth came to help plant sweet potato seeds and in October they came back to help harvest the garden.


Those sweet potatoes were prepared into a delicious pancake breakfast by Chef Lambert, which is a tradition lasting four years now. 



Thank you to our volunteers who are dedicated to helping the students learn about nutrients found in the vegetables we grow. Thank you for teaching them about the process from planting to harvesting to enjoying!




The sweet potato pancakes were delicious!
