Brentwood Elementary

Anthony

Anthony is a sweet, kind, loving, and funny classmate and friend. He always has the biggest smile on his face and great jokes to share. If someone needs a laugh Anthony is there to save the day. The class particularly loved his Patrick Star outfit that he wears to school. Anthony loves learning new things and always tries his best. It has been a true joy to be a part of Anthony’s learning journey and I can’t wait to see what he does in the future. Brentwood will not be the same without you Anthony. 

Jaxon

I have had Jaxon in my class these past two years, and he is one of the brightest, funniest kids I know.  He has a love of lacrosse and sports.  Jaxon consistently shares his insightful ideas and connections during classroom discussions, can be counted on to read aloud and makes thoughtful contributions on topics we are covering in class, from colonialism and Douglas Treaties, to how the room furniture should be arranged.  Jaxon loves to share stories about his pets and visiting cousins on long weekends and holidays.  Jaxon consistently demonstrates leadership and kindness, and often is found chatting with the many friends he has in our classroom. Jaxon is ready for grade 6 at Bayside and he will be missed! 

Justin 

Justin is a kind and thoughtful person.  He is considerate of others, a wonderful friend and big brother, and a hard-working student. He tries his best at everything he does, from math and writing to new games in PE. Justin has a wonderful sense of humour and loves to spend time chatting and laughing with friends.  Justin’s sense of humour filters into his school work and his Ugly Holiday Sweater assignment (both the illustration and the writing) was creative and hilarious!  Justin, you are ready for Grade 6 and will be missed. I hope you come back once in a while when you pick up your sister to say hello!

Kora 

Kora is a passionate learner with a great sense of humor. She always does her best with her work and checks in along the way to make sure she’s on the right track. She has so many passions that I would be writing all day. At school I’d say her top passions are reading and anything related to art. She pays attention to every detail and plans it all out first. Kora has amazing ideas and is great at following through with them. She is a great leader and is great at sharing her knowledge with the class. Kora has many paths that she could follow in life and I can’t wait to see which she decides. I hope to catch up with you in the future, Kora!

Luke 

Luke is a great student to have in your class.  He is friendly, kind and likes to help others. Luke loves to play sports at recess , welcoming others when they want to join. Luke is great at mathematics, he always needs extra challenge work to complete!  Luke gives 100% to every class though he enjoys school.  Like is very ready for grade 5 and the extra responsibility that brings.  He has volunteered at Brentwood as a crossing guard and lunch monitor, I am sure at Bayside he will get involved in all he can too!  Brentwood will miss him. 

Mason 

Mason has the ability to make you feel special with his great big smile and friendly hellos.  He is an all-star soccer player who loves to spend his spare moments and activity breaks outside on the (soggy) Brentwood fields in rain or shine.  MAson has great connections in our classroom and school, and is often chatting and laughing with peers.  He likes to play pranks and tricks on his teachers and friends. He enjoys choices and has a creative mind.  This year, Mason made a presentation about a famous person and presented it clearly, and with confidence. Mason, it has been wonderful getting to know you and connecting with you this year.  I wish you all the best as you head into middle school! 

Sofia

Sofia is a deeply kind, charismatic, and outgoing kid. She is the first one to say hi and ask how your day is going. She is also the first one to give you a hug or encouragement if needed. Sofia is a creative writer and an enthusiastic learner. She asks questions and makes great connections. Sofia is also a passionate reader. You can find her most of the day engrossed in a book. Brentwood is going to miss Sofia’s big smile and friendly, happy personality. She truly is one of a kind. 

Tyson 

I have known Tyson for two years now and I have said this from the first time I met him, he is a creative mind and artist.  Tyson prefers to show his ideas in pictures and is an incredible story teller.  He has spent much of this year laughing with friends in our class.  He always tries his best during our school work assignments.  He has a genuine smile and kindness that permeates our room and hallways.  I am going to miss his friendly greetings and big smiles, his detailed artwork and stories about soccer in the Dominican.  Tyson says he can’t wait to get to Portugal. If you go, I need to hear all about it.  I hope you come back and visit at Brentwood!

Jordyn has been an incredible addition to Brentwood Elementary this year. She is thoughtful, funny, and caring. She notices what needs to be done around the classroom and she quietly gets it done. Jordyn is wise beyond her years. She has a vast knowledge of her community and culture and passionately shares this knowledge with her class. Jordyn will always be the first to stand up for someone if they are being wronged. I can’t wait to see what she does in the years to come.

He is a respectful and inclusive student always looking out for the best interests of others.

Trevor is a funny and inquisitive student. He is famous for his “what if...” questions. He is a proud “farm boy” (his words) and loves to share his farming knowledge with everyone. He loves to help out around the school and takes his responsibilities very seriously. Trevor has taken on the roles of crossing guard, lunch monitor, school tour guide for Ready, Set, Learn, and many other volunteer opportunities.

BENJAMIN B-K

He and his mom would make the most delicious banana bread and it was such a treat to have a slice delivered to my desk! I will always remember Ben because no matter what mischief he might be getting up to he always had a beautiful smile and always found humor in situations. Mrs. Ewart

ERIN R

One of my favorite memories was when we went to Camp Imadene. My favorite activity in camp was the go carts. The go carts were so much fun! Steering them was hard at first but I got used to it. Basically how to drive it is you’re lying down and you need to put your feet on the petals, then you ride it like a bike, but you’re lying down. To turn them you need to lean left or right. We went through a track and then did races. Another favorite memory of Imadene was archery and blaster ball, it was funny because in archery Mrs. Takhar and my friend has a competition. Mrs. Takhar got 3 arrows in the block so then my friend challenged her and got 4 in. In blaster ball I was on the team Old Faithful. We totally destroyed EI Campo! CAMP IMADENE WAS FUN!

My favorite memory was meeting my friends. I wonder what Bayside will be like, I will miss Brentwood.

Kadence J

This is Kadence Joe. Her favorite subjects are P.E and art. She is an incredible artist and athlete. Her favorite sport is soccer. When not in school, she likes to play outside, and she enjoys playing video games. She also likes to play on her trampoline and she enjoys swimming.

MARQUEZ C

Even though I’ve only been here for 8 months I’m going to tell you my favorite memories. One of them is Camp Imadene. We did archery and some others I will talk about in a second. Archery was my favorite activity because I hit 6 targets and another one was  blaster ball. Blaster ball reminded me of capture the flag and paintball. Oh yeah we were there at 6:45am and got back at 5:30pm. It was so fun!
