The Community Mentor program at Brookside has been a unique 10 year initiative that connects community members with classrooms to become their mentor and super hero. This relationship develops during the school year with visits, field trips to their place of business and continuous collaboration throughout the year. Building positive relationships between schools, students, parents, teachers and community is an integral part of educating students at Brookside.
The City of Big Rapids Firefighters visited Brookside first graders on Monday to promote fire safety awareness this month. The students learned life saving information and that firefighters are friendly not scary!
