Recently volunteer student athletes from BYU came to Brockbank to put on a presentation inviting students to be Cougar Strong for life. They stressed that while not everyone can be a college athlete, everyone can be Cougar Strong. To be Cougar Strong means you are physically strong, mentally strong, and socially strong. As a reminder of their commitment students were given a wristband from the Cougar Club. The students also signed a poster that will remain in their classroom to remind them to be Cougar Strong.

PBS KIDS Reading Marathon The PBS KIDS Reading Marathon is taking place during the month of November.
