Brockbank Sixth-Graders Attend "Sports Hero Day" at BYU

Submitted by brenda.johnson on

Recently, approximately 1200 sixth-grade students from across Utah Valley descended onto BYU campus for an exciting day to be spent with their local sports heroes. Brockbank Elementary made up 78 of the over 1200 students. BYU calls this activity "Sports Hero Day". Its purpose is to provide sixth-grade students the opportunity to interact with BYU athletes, and to observe their positive examples in academics, athletics, and social circumstances up close and personal. The sixth-grade students were given the chance to try many different sports with the college athletes. Some of the student's favorites were football, volleyball, track, and baseball. Before the students went to the BYU they wrote essays explaining, "Who Their Hero Is and Why?" Out of all the essays BYU received they picked a winner from each school, the winner from Brockbank was Lyssa Fisk a sixth-grader in Mrs. Sara Stout's class. . Way to go Lyssa!
