Wednesday, November 28, Sonic sponsored a Brockbank night, between the hours of 5-8 pm a percentage of all sales was given to our school. Because of the wonderful support of our Brockbank families it was a great success! January 24 Sonic representative Skyler Stevens came to Brockbank to award us a check for $393.33! We would like to thank Sonic for their continued support and all of our amazing Brockbank families that participated in that fun evening!

Brockbank Elementary recently celebrated "100 Days of School!" Students celebrated this day in several different ways. First-graders used the number 100 in math skills like counting and place value; they wrote down 100 words that they have learned how to read and write this year; they drew pictures of what they would look like if they were 100 years old; they made cool glasses to wear; and they named 100 things you can eat and 100 things you cannot eat.

Brockbank kindergarteners recently celebrated making it through "100 days of school". To celebrate this achievement they had a fun filled day of activities centered around the number 100. They earned an official "100 Day" certificate by completing the following activities; counting 100 objects, taking a 100 step walk, doing 100 exercises, completing 100 seconds of silence (at least tried to), having a 100 day magic trick, discussing what they could eat 100 of, and there was a 100 drops of water test.

Friday, January 25, Spirit Week concludes with Brockbank's Birthday celebration and "Clash Day". Students and staff wore mismatched clothes that clash and crazy hair.

This weeks staff spotlights are Mrs. Sherry Plaisted and Mrs. Carrie Peterson.

Brockbank Elementary recently completed their annual food drive. Usually the food drive is held before the holidays but this year Brockbank decided to have it in January. After talking to local food banks, they say this time of year food is especially in need because after Christmas they have a hard time building back up their supplies and there is significant need with all the cold, winter weather we have been having. The student council sponsored the drive and worked hard to get all the students excited about it.
