Brockbank kindergarteners recently held their, "Bring your Teddy Bear to school day". Students had the opportunity to bring their favorite teddy bear or other stuffed animal to school to spend the day in class learning and playing with them.  When it was time for the students to go home, the teddy bears got to stay and have a slumber party at school. The next day when the students came to school they found out that their animals had made a mess in their classroom.

Allison Isaac is running for Miss Spanish Fork and her project is to get students in our community unplugged for one whole day. Instead of playing with their electronic devices she is encouraging students to do other things and taking a pledge to do so.  Wednesday, March 18, will be "We Play Wednesday". This challenge is for everyone to put away all electronic devices for the whole day.  That includes computers,IPods, cell phones, TVs, Nintendo, etc. Go on an adventure! Use your imagination! See how creative you can be!
