Congratulations to these students for being good examples in their classrooms!

Brockbank's PTA recently awarded prizes to the students that excelled in the walk-a-thon. The walk-a-thon was a great success with several students walking over 100 laps. Students that walked a 100 laps or more were given a gold medal and a $10 gift certificate to the book fair. Prizes were also given to the students in each grade that walked the most laps.

Brockbank PTA along with Brockbank faculty recently held their sixth annual walk-a-thon fundraiser. It was a great success with lots of support from the students and parents. Students, along with many of their parents, walked laps around a track set up on the grass field as a way to exercise and raise money for the school. The funds will purchase document cameras for classrooms. The goal is to equip every classroom. Document cameras allow teachers to use technology to create a more interactive classroom. Prizes, pizza, snow cones, and bake sale items were available throughout the night.
