Brockbank Kindergarteners Make Gingerbread Men!
Brockbank kindergarten classes have been reading books about "Gingerbread Men". For a class activity each class made gingerbread man cookies and baked them. Mrs. Tara Farr's class made a big gingerbread man and decorated it, when they went to get the cookie out of the oven to eat it, he was gone. The gingerbread man had left the students clues around the school of where to find him. Finding the clues helped the students become more familiar with the school. The clues finally led the students back to where they started and they found the gingerbread man waiting for them.

Brockbank Students Write Christmas Letters to the Troops in Their Computer Class
One sixth-grade class and one fifth-grade class in Mrs. Frances Dyches' computer class got the opportunity to send letters to the troops for Christmas. For a typing assignment, they typed their letters telling the troops how much they appreciate the sacrifices they are making. They told them a little about themselves and what subjects were their favorites. They wished the troops a Merry Christmas and told them to come home safely. The students then printed their letters and Mrs. Dyches is going to send them. Students really enjoyed the assignment and hope the troops enjoy their letters.
