Brockbank Students Enjoyed Nutcracker Ballet
Brockbank second, fourth, and sixth grade students recently got the opportunity to participate in the Provo Civic Ballet Outreach Program sponsored by Intermountain Health Care. With their generous “Live Well” donation students were introduced to the art of ballet. The Nutcracker performance was held at the Covey Center in Provo. Students really enjoyed this experience and want to thank Intermountain Health Care for this great opportunity. Lauren Ethington a sixth grader at Brockbank was in the performance and did an outstanding job!
Brockbank Students Made Christmas Cards for the Troops
Brockbank students in Mrs. Louise Crook's class made Christmas cards for the troops. It is hard for members of the military to be deployed overseas during the holiday season. To help them during this difficult time, students made cards to let the troops know that we are thinking about them and appreciate their sacrifices.
