Brockbank students in Mrs. Marcy Noorda's first-grade class recently got to go on walking field trip to visit Grandma Marie Hansen. She has been waiting them to come to her house so she could show them her collection of Nutcrackers. Grandma Hansen is a foster grandma in Mrs. Noorda's class. Grandma Hansen's grandson said she has over 200 nutcrackers. The students really enjoyed seeing her collection!

Brockbank Students Enjoy Bicycle Stunt Show

Submitted by brenda.johnson on

Rich Wieber's Bicycle Stunt Show recently visited Brockbank Elementary. The performers delighted the students with fun, daring bicycle stunts. Throughout the assembly, the performers shared with students the importance of setting goals and not giving up when it gets tough. They shared with students how many years they had practiced stunts and how many times they had to do each stunt falling down before they got it right - and they still practice every day! The last stunt was perhaps the most exciting - five teachers laid down on the gym floor and a bicyclist jumped over them all.
