Second-grade students at Brockbank Elementary celebrated the Christmas season by presenting a special program on Thursday, December 18, to their parents and grandparents. The students enjoyed entertaining their families by singing several Christmas songs. After the program, the students and their parents returned to their classroom to decorate gingerbread houses. It was a fun day!

Friday, December 19, Brockbank students had a special visitor come and read to them. Mrs. Santa Claus came and read to several classrooms. The students enjoyed the stories that she read to them.

Brockbank Elementary first-graders celebrated the holiday season by having a Polar Express Day on Thursday, December 18. They earned this day by meeting their classroom reading goals. Each first-grade class had to fill their Polar Express train car and in order to accomplish this, each student had to read at least six books. As a reward for meeting this goal, students got to wear pajamas to school; make Polar Express trains out of HoHo's, starlight mints, and chocolate bells; make engineer hats out of paper. That afternoon they got to watch the movie, "Polar Express".

Third-grade students in Mrs. Carolyn Creer's class, once a week, go into Mrs. Tara Farr's kindergarten class and help the students. Each kindergarten student gets a third-grade buddy to work with, whether it be reading to each other, practicing flash cards, or just helping the student with whatever they are working on. Whenever there is a holiday, or at least once a month, the students get to do a fun activity together. Recently they got to make Christmas trees made out of ice cream cones, covered with frosting, and decorated with candy.

Brockbank Elementary had a very special visitor on Thursday, December 18, Santa Claus came to visit! He asked the students in Mrs. Wendy Dimond's class if they had been naughty or nice? The students were very excited to see Santa!

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