JRE Challenge Students Share the Love with Brookwood Community


Carrying on an annual tradition, Challenge students created Christmas cards and crafts to share with their "Brookwood Buddies."  Always ready to try something new, 1st-5th graders learned the basics of sewing and created 112 stuffed felt ornaments embellished with buttons and personal touches.  They also designed and wrote messages in 256 cards to ensure every person at Brookwood would have a little bit of happiness to open this season.  The director at Brookwood community shared, "Everyone looks forward to seeing what the students have created each year. The smiles are endless when the goodies arrive!"  Mrs. Sides agrees, "The kids are beaming and so excited as soon as we receive photos of our Brookwood Buddies getting their gifts. We have even started planning for next year already!  It is wonderfully heartwarming to see and hear how much this connection they have made with the community means to them."
