BWF celebrates Circle of Friends

Brookwood Forest Elementary celebrated Circle of Friends week in January. The event allows students and staff members to foster inclusion, acceptance, tolerance and patience for those who live with challenges every single day within the BWF community.

This year, Jerry the Frog came to visit kindergarten through second-grade classes; a luncheon was held for the teachers in the special education department; a daily video was shown schoolwide educating students about special needs; the Lakeshore Foundation wheelchair team came to visit and played BWF staff in front of the third- to sixth-graders; and students also experienced real-life simulations of others’ possible daily challenges.
