Hello, Brockbank Families!
We first want to thank all those who came to Dads and Donuts! We appreciate our great PTA and all that they did to get the Book Fair up and running as well as providing for our Dads and Donuts! The Book Fair will be going on this week, before school and after school. Thanks for your support!
In January, Brockbank Elementary partnered with the Spanish Fork High School and collected money for "Bucks for Blankets". The "kid power" sixth grade council members along with advisor, Mrs. Terri Jensen encouraged students to bring in their change to help buy fabric to make blankets to give to Primary Children's Hospital. Recently students were given the opportunity to help tie the blankets that will be given to the hospital. Brockbank students were able to tie and give 110 blankets to this great cause. Kids really can make a difference!
Mrs. Michelle Egbert is a third grade teacher here at Brockbank. She and her husband (of 28 years) live in Springville. They have four daughters and one son.
Brockbank second grade students celebrated Dr. Seuss Day by making "soup". They would read a Dr. Seuss book and then add an ingredient to their soup. They read "Hop on Pop" and added popcorn, "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish" adding fish crackers, "Green Eggs and Ham", adding robin eggs, and "The Sneetches" adding gummy bears. They enjoyed reading the books and eating their soup.
Spanish Fork is hosting the 2016 Wrangler Champions Challenge Rodeo for the third year on Saturday, June 4 at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. To help promote the rodeo and at the same time to encourage students to read, the city is offering a Champions Challenge Reading Contest. Bull fighter, JJ Harrison, Fiesta Days Rodeo Queens, Spanish Fork Police Officer Bryan DeWitt, along with city officials came to Brockbank to entertain the students in a fun assembly and get them excited to read.
Hello, Brockbank Families!
We have some really fun things to look forward to, for the month of March! Last week we were able to have our BFF activity and learn about priorities. The students talked about things they need to do and things they want to do. The students watched a cool video that showed an example of how you "fill" your life with doing important things first, then the things you want to do will fit fight in!
Brockbank is excited about our upcoming Book Fair which will kick off this Friday, March 11 with our annual Dads and Donuts! Make sure to bring your dad, mom, grandpa, grandma or any special family member on Friday morning from 7:30-8:30 AM to browse through the book fair and enjoy a donut. The book fair will run the following week March 14-18 before school, during lunch, and after school and all evening Thursday night during SEP conferences. The book fair will close Thursday evening.
Hello, Brockbank Families!
It looks like March will enter in like a lamb, which is great with us! It has been fun to watch the students run and play outside with this nice weather!
Today we were able to have JJ Harrison, a professional rodeo clown, and members of the Spanish Fork Riding Club come and give us a special challenge! Each student that meets his/her reading goal will be able to put his/her name in a drawing for a free ticket to the Champions Challenge Rodeo and a free pair of Justin Boots! Please help your child meet the reading goal for the month!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!! To celebrate, students wore shirts with writing so students could read their shirts. There was a school wide game of Seuss-O (a form of BINGO) where students had to find pictures around the school and mark off their game card for a prize. Principal Larraine Nelson went to each grade and read a Dr. Seuss book to the students. She read, "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" The students really enjoyed having their principal read a book to them!
Brockbank's PTA instead of individual classes competing the month of January they decided to mix it up and have a grade competition to see which grade could bring in the most "Box Tops!" Third grade brought in the most box tops and so this month there is 4 heads on the "Box Top Hero" hanging in the hall by the office.
