December 2015

Brockbank kindergarten classes read books about "Gingerbread Men". For a class activity Mrs. Tara Farr and Miss Clarrisa Putnam's classes each 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 fifth-grade students had a great time making Christmas presents for their parents or grandparents. Each student made a hand-stitched Christmas picture that took many hours of hard work. The students were so excited that many students asked to make a second or even third hand-stitched picture!

Tuesday, December 15, Brockbank students enjoyed a Christmas sing-a-long. Kindergarteners, first, second, and third graders got to perform a song for the rest of the school. In between each grade the whole school sang songs led by Mrs. Terri Jensen and accompanied by Mrs. Beverly Shepherd. All of the students did a great job! We want to thank Beverly Shepherd for coming and playing the piano for this fun activity!

Hello, Brockbank Families!

What a winter wonderland!  The children were excited with the snow today and we had fun watching it fall ALL DAY LONG!  We hope you will all be careful as you travel in this weather!  Please make sure your child wears warm clothing and has necessary outer ware as he/she comes to school!

Brockbank is happy to announce our "Bronco Best" students for the month of November! Bronco's Best are students that set an example of great behavior, kindness, and service! 

Hello, Brockbank Families!

We want to congratulate all the fifth-grade students on their graduation from DARE!  We especially appreciate Office DeWitt and the great job that he did presenting awesome lessons to help our students learn life skills that will help them throughout their lives!

The fourth grade students enjoyed the opera today at Salem Hills High School!  We love bringing the arts into our curriculum!

Friday, December 4, Brockbank fifth-grade students having completed their Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) training taught by Officer Bryan DeWitt of the Spanish Fork Police Department graduated. Officer DeWitt taught the students several lessons on drugs and ways to avoid drug use. He stressed the influences that drugs can have and the potential dangers. As part of the D.A.R.E. requirements, students were encouraged to write an essay on what they have learned.

On Wednesday, November 18, the fourth-grade students at Brockbank Elementary celebrated their Utah Heritage with a pioneer program. Students dressed in pioneer/cowboy attire sang and danced like the pioneers did so many years ago. Parents were then invited to dance with their student for some fun square dancing. It was a fun evening and everyone enjoyed themselves!

Brockbank recently joined in with the Bank of American Fork and Spanish Fork High School's Letterman Club in collecting stuffed animals (doesn't have to be bears) for at risk children in local treatment centers. Brockbank students have been bringing in new or gently used stuffed animals to help with this cause. "Project Teddy Bear" will continue to run until December 11.
