BWF renovation
BWF alumni Andrew Putnam, Michael Putnam, Stephen Woodry and Dru Gresham stand in the lunchroom with current students Christopher Woodry and Laura Woodry and Principal Nathan Pitner.
Two big projects were completed at Brookwood Forest Elementary at the end of the summer. Students and parents were welcomed back with a new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) room and luncheon room.
The STEM room will be a learning area for all students to develop a variety of skills that are essential for success including critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship. STEM is a framework for teaching that is based on natural ways of learning, is customizable for all types of students and is fun.
The lunchroom renovation involved removing the outside wall of the room and replacing it with retractable garage-type doors. The doors will open up to an outdoor patio area with seating for up to 50 people. The students and administrators are very excited about the new lunchroom and are looking forward to enjoying lunch outdoors on special occasions and special school events.
The funding for both projects included donations from the Brookwood Forest PTO.
