Brockbank Loves Grandma Marie Hansen

Submitted by brenda.johnson on

We would like to honor a very special lady that was part of our Brockbank family for over 23 years. Marie Hansen was a foster grandma in Mrs. Marcy Noorda's first-grade class and before that was in first grade with Mrs. Elaine Burnham. Marie was a remarkable lady, at 94 years old. She enjoyed crocheting, tying quilts, and collecting nutcrackers (which she loved showing off) she had 326 nutcrackers.  At school Grandma Hansen listened to students read, count, do arithmetic and helped them with  their classroom centers.

Brockbank Kindergarten Students Learn Importance of Doing Their Very Best

Submitted by brenda.johnson on

Kindergartners in Mrs. Tara Farr's class recently read "The Tortoise and the Hare".  They talked about being a good sport and not giving up and that they can do hard things. As they raced the turtles in class they discussed the importance of being a good cheerleader to each other no matter if they win or lose. They also talked about how the turtle was able to persevere and keep trying until he reached his goal.
