At Brooks Global Studies, we prepare students to become active, knowledgeable participants in a global society. Our studies lead them to understand how their actions as individuals impact the larger community of their classroom and the school, just as the actions of a single country affects the world. Our children learn to genuinely respect and accept the differences that make people and their cultures unique.

International Festival

Brooks International Festival

Every year the PTA hosts the International Festival for ALL students, staff, parents, siblings, family and friends to attend. The festival is a great opportunity to see the community of the school come together in an end of the year celebration!

There is no cost to attend. The activities, games and food do require the purchase of tickets.

There are student performances led by Senora Trujillo and Mrs. Geraldi. Every student will participate in a short performance during the festival.

There are many opportunities to learn about other countries at the country booths, where students can earn a free homework pass.

There will be food with ethnic flair, games, photo booth and even an International cake walk!

It is truly an experience you don't want to miss!

Please also consider volunteering some time, if we all help everyone will get to enjoy the festivities! The festival is only a success with volunteers!

The International Festival is Friday May 5, 2017 from 5:30pm-8:30pm!
