The Bobcat Times

Dear Brooker Creek Families,

What a fantastic week at Brooker Creek. The staff and students really enjoyed this week which included the family lunch, the Character parade, and the APEX fun run. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing Brooker Creek families and community for your generous support of our APEX Paws on the Pavement schoolwide fundraiser! This joint effort between our school and PTA helps support important initiatives that directly benefit our students and enhance their educational experiences. We ended the week with an exciting Fun Run, which was a great opportunity for the students to have fun while celebrating their efforts to make a difference at Brooker Creek!

Finally, I want to encourage all parents and guardians to reach out to their child’s teacher whenever questions or concerns arise. Open communication and strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success. Our dedicated Brooker Creek staff is committed to ensuring that every child has a memorable and meaningful educational experience, one defined by academic excellence, positive relationships, and active engagement in our school community.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we are making a difference because at Brooker Creek, Every Bobcat Counts!

Go Bobcats!

Novembers Commitment to Character word is Patriotism. November provides a wonderful opportunity to teach our students about the importance of our democratic election process, civic responsibility, and honoring the brave men and women who have served our country as we recognize Veterans Day. Throughout the month, our students will explore what patriotism means and how they can demonstrate pride, respect, and appreciation for our country.

Our Prestigious Paws Monthly Character Award is presented by classroom teachers and specialists to students who exemplify our district’s monthly character trait. This award recognizes students who demonstrate positive character and behavior throughout our school. October recipients are listed below for exemplifying Tolerance by showing kindness, respect, and acceptance of others. Congratulations to these Bobcats and their families!

Dear Brooker Creek Families,

At Brooker Creek Elementary School, we deeply value the opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.

This year, Pinellas County Schools will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day, providing families with the opportunity to honor and celebrate the veterans in their lives. The District has also provided teachers with grade-level-appropriate curriculum and resources to ensure students learn about the significance of Veterans Day and the sacrifices made by those who have served our country.

Additionally, families will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of Veterans Day activities and celebrations throughout the community, should they choose to do so.

Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and for helping us honor those who have served.

Where Every Bobcat Counts!

Dr. Brown and Mrs. Gerber
