Congratulations to the Brookwood Boys Swim team for winning the State Championnship. The girls placed 2nd in the state. Click for the full story.

Congratulations to Brookwood's Robert Nelson, as he was chosen as an Emerson Scholar for the 2008 Interlochen Arts Camp. He is one of 52 musicians that were awarded this merit-based, full-tuition (over 6,000)scholarship to the camp.

On Saturday, March 29, 2008, the Brookwood Science Olympiad Team claimed its first ever state title. Our team finished with a score 136 points, averaging fifth place in all the events. In an extremely competitive field containing at least 3 math and science magnet schools, 6 private schools, and Parkview, the five time defending state champs, we finished 52 points ahead of the second place. The complete dominance was evident as we earned medals an amazing 12 times in 23 events, while competing against a total of 30 schools. By finishing 1st in the state we won the right to represent Georgia at the National Science Olympiad at George Washington University in Washington, DC on May 30-31, 2008.

Brookwood Band's AT&T Birdies for Charity program is an easy way to support the Brookwood Band. Click here for more details.

As part of the Taste of Brookwood, the Brookwood Band in Snellville is having a silent auction.
Several changes are being made this year which will shine the spotlight on the auction. First, the auction area has been moved to the front entrance near the ticketing area for increased traffic. Also, we have moved the bandstand into the commons area, and will make several announcements promoting auction items between performances.

The auction is a valuable fundraiser for the band.

Do you own a local business? Do you have items or services you would like to donate? The Brookwood band is a phenomenal music program that enriches the lives of the students it serves as well as the community at large. Don't let this opportunity slip by to get your business in front of the nearly 1000 community members who are involved in the Brookwood band program.
