Submitted by brenda.johnson on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 16:10

Brockbank fifth-grade students recently completed their D.A.R.E. program taught by Officer Bryan DeWitt. The students learned several lessons about drugs and ways to avoid the many influences in their lives that might lead them down dangerous paths. One of the fun activities fifth-graders got to do was to see Officer DeWitt's patrol car and see all the equipment that he uses to do his job. He showed them how some of it worked and how he uses it. Students have really learned a lot this year and are looking forward to graduating from D.A.R.E.

Submitted by brenda.johnson on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 14:55
Brockbank second-graders celebrated a Native American Day. They learned about the first Thanksgiving and about the life of the Indians and Pilgrims. Mrs. Kristel Peterson's class learned about the importance of corn, how it was grown, dried and used. Pictured are students from Mrs. Peterson's class, "gathered by the river". Jose Garcia-Maldonado is holding the stone by the authentic metate (a mortar ground stone tool used for processing grains and seeds) that was found locally to grind up the corn. It was a very educational experience and the students really learned a lot.
