This year the sixth-graders at Brockbank participated in a sixth-grade science fair. Students learned about the scientific process and were then challenged to go home and conduct an experiment that answered a scientific question. The sixth-grade teachers were amazed at the quality of work done by the students. The students worked really hard on their projects. The sixth-grade classes took turns looking at each other's projects and asking questions. The projects were on display in the hallway for a week for the rest of the school to enjoy.

Recently Brockbank third-graders enjoyed meeting their reading goal by having a "camp-out" reading party. Each student had to read at least 8 hours in the month of January to meet their goal. The students got to wear pajamas to school and have smores as a treat. It is a fun way to motivate students to read and a great way to reward them for doing it.
