Principal's Message

Hello Bulldogs!

I know everyone is looking forward to a relaxing Thanksgiving break! Please make sure to note that school will be closed from Monday, November 24 through Friday, November 28. I hope you are able to spend extra time with your family and friends and remind yourself of all you have to be thankful for. Let’s make this last week before break a focused, productive one and then allow ourselves to disconnect and recharge before the winter season!
Gratefully,

Mrs. Bethany Ledesma
Principal, Brookshire Elementary
