Congratulations to Ms. Kristi Jensen for being awarded Brockbank's Teacher of the Year! Kristi has been teaching for 29 years. Before coming to Brockbank she taught resource for one year in Idaho, 10 years at Grant Elementary, and 15 years at Larsen. We are so glad she came here.
Kristi grew up on a farm in the small town of Richfield, Idaho. She was the youngest of six children. Kristi likes gardening, hiking, biking, camping, reading, watching movies, and electronic scrapbooking. She loves to volunteer, visit, and meet new people. Her peers say, "she is a dare devil, a prangster, but most of all generous and kind. She makes school fun!"
