“When I got to Cranbrook, I heard that Brookside was a magical place,” says Brookside Head Keith McConnell. “As someone who grew up 90 minutes from the gates of Disney, I thought, ‘what do

they mean?’ But I understood pretty quickly. The magic is in the uniqueness

of the place.”

From managing fire drills to rallying spirit days, you’ve led Brookside with passion, laughter, and just the right amount of magic (and patience!). Your commitment to empowering every student and fostering a love of learning has truly shaped our community. We’ll definitely miss your sharp wit and steady leadership—Brookside won’t be the same without you!

Keith always enjoyed his time with the children at Brookside. He centered everything he did around what was best for the students.

Thank you for making Brookside such an amazing place! All 7 years of learning there went by way too fast. You were a great Professor Marvel in our play!

Keith, I hope you find your Brookside retirement to be a mere respite on the way to new adventures. Hopefully trips to support Trevor will be first on your list. Working together I genuinely valued your leadership and support, as well as the trust we developed as a leadership team. Your decisions were always grounded on respect for and understanding of what was best for students. I wish you all the best and look forward to getting together for a relaxed, unhurried lunch! 🩷
