 * Willow Brook Elementary in Oak Ridge, TN, was founded in 1944 as a part of the Manhattan Project to build the city of Oak Ridge. This is the only **** original elementary school in its original building in the city. The school is the only Oak Ridge school in the system on an alternative, year-round schedule. Students attend class for 9 weeks, then have approximately 3 weeks off. The school currently has 480 students with a fluctuating rate from 80 to 95 percent on free lunch. Willow Brook is a K-4 Title 1 school with funding that allows for student and family opportunities that are afforded to them through extra funding. Extra opportunities include reduced class sizes, providing addition support through teaching assistants, providing materials and supplies to support literacy instruction in all classrooms, and providing a Family Impact Coordinator to serve our students and families. ** ** The students of Willow Brook come from a wide variety of types of home life. Students have diverse backgrounds and each brings something different to the table. **


 * In Mrs. Sanabria's 3rd grade classroom at Willow Brook Elementary there are 19 students, 3 of which are only part of classroom activities in the afternoon for inclusion. There are 8 boys and 8 girls in the classroom all day, 2 boys and 1 girl join the class in the afternoon some days for inclusion. Each student had different and unique personalities and skills. During the time that I was fortunate enough to be a part of the classroom environment, the students began rigorous and extensive TCAP training. I helped students strategize and think about test taking skills. **


 * Willow Brook Motto: Every Season is a Learning Season. **
 * The Job at Willow Brook: Learn Something New Today! **
 * The Willow Brook Promise: **As a Willow Brook student I will do my best to be honest, to be courteous, to be respectful, to be responsible and to be a hard worker at all times.
