This is the fourth year Student Council has sponsored "Project Share." At Christmas, there are many area families who are having difficulty enjoying the holidays with their children because of financial strain. Student Council and Broadmoor Junior High staff and students try to ease that burden for some Pekin families at Christmas time. Gifts of toys and clothing are wrapped and delivered before Christmas to families recommended by Christian Civic Outreach. A HUGE thank-you to all families who donated  this year and also to Mrs. Pam Nelson who organized the entire project.
Mrs. Link's transition class has been silent reading, along with the entire school, every Tuesday and Thursday  for 1/2 hour each day. Her students decided to create web pages to share the books they have been reading. Check out their reviews, maybe you will find a book that you might enjoy!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Greg Fairchild on their birth of their new baby boy! 
Alex Gregory was born on Monday, December 11. Big sister Hope welcomes him home. Mr. Fairchild is the Assistant Principal at Broadmoor.  The Fairchilds decided to pick the snowiest day of the year to have their baby! Pictures coming soon.
Home, Sweet "Geobread" Home!  Students from Mr. Fogal and Mrs. Chenoweth's 2nd period class have joined forces with Mrs. Fogal's 3rd grade students from Willow and Starke to introduce their geometry units with a yummy two-day project that is sure to bring the house down. Students get to design a geometric house that would make any gingerbread man proud! Using graham crackers for their walls and roof, and frosting as "mortar," students construct their house and then decorate it with different kinds of candies. Students will be figuring perimeter and area of their houses, along with working with different geometric shapes.

The teachers would like to thank all of the parents for providing the necessary supplies to complete this project.

Mrs. Nevius' Language Arts classes have been working on prepositions. They just finished an assignment in which they had to first draw a winter or Christmas picture, then they had to write an original poem. The poem had to be created so that each line started with a preposition. The classes did a great job drawing and creating poetry. Take a look!
