Today our schools were decked out in a sea of yellow and gold to advocate for Childhood Cancer awareness!🎗️
We appreciate each student, educator, administrator, and employee who supported Hope for Autumn Foundation's Give Hope Day! It was incredibly moving to see our JEFCOED Family stand behind such a meaningful cause. 💛

🎶 Brookville 4th & 5th Grade Field Trip Fun! 🎶
Our 4th and 5th grade students had an amazing time today at the Alys Stephens Center experiencing two-time Grammy Award-winning artist Terrance Simien and The Zydeco Experience! Students enjoyed the music, culture, and energy of Zydeco—and several of our very own Brookville students even had the opportunity to go on stage and play instruments with the band! 🪗🎵 What an exciting experience!
It was a day filled with music, culture, learning, laughter, and memories! Our Bear Cubs thoroughly enjoyed every moment! 🐻❤️🖤
