Tuesday, October 11, fourth-grade students from Brockbank had the wonderful opportunity to attend a performance by the Utah Symphony at Maple Mountain High School. The students had a great time dressing up and learning about music.

At Brockbank students are earning "Caught Ya" slips for doing good deeds, picking up trash, listening and following directions in class, and many more things. Every Monday students can redeem their slips for a variety of things depending on the number of caught ya slips they have earned. They can redeem their slips or save them. Brock Wignall chose to save his slips and earned enough to eat in the office with the secretaries.

We were very privileged to have Mrs. Laura Brockbank sing the "National Anthem" for us! It has been great having her at Brockbank the past few weeks!

Friday, October 7, Brockbank first graders enjoyed a field trip to Gordo's Fun Farm. There was a lot of fun things to do at the farm. Everyone had a great time playing and learning. 

Friday, October 7, kindergarten students went to Glen Ray's Corn Maze. They enjoyed all the activities learning about farming, playing in the corn, and going down the slide. It was a fun day!

Liz Bird makes use of unusable books. She makes such cute decorations for us to enjoy!

She became eligible for an internship in education by taking any of the following classes at her high school: Child Development, Early Childhood Education, Teaching as a Profession, or Teacher Education at the ALC. Oaklee says "I love spending time with the class. They are so fun and can light up your day!" Mrs Loreen said "Oaklee is amazing!"

Brockbank Elementary held their annual "Dads and Donuts" on October 4. The students, along with their dads, moms, grandparents, or other special family members were able to come and browse for books through the book fair and then enjoy donuts and milk. Brockbank students and faculty would like to thank the PTA for sponsoring this fun morning.
