Brockbank first-graders read the book, "Enemy Pie" written by Derek Munson about a boy whose summer is ruined when Jeremy Ross moves in and becomes number one on the enemy list. Fortunately, for the boy his father has a secret recipe for a pie that is guaranteed to help get rid of enemies. While his Dad works on mixing the ingredients and baking the pie, he explains that his son's role in the plan is that he needs to spend a day with his enemy. Even worse, he has to be nice to him. It sounds tough, but the boy decides to give it a try.

Emily Mitchell in Mrs. Carolyn Creer's third grade class brought an interesting show and tell to school. She brought a bearded dragon named Sandy. They have had it for almost a year, it was only about 6 inches long when they got it. Her classmates loved hearing all about Emily's show and tell.

Wednesday, September 11, Ms. Cherie Abiang, a representative from Discovery Gateway Children's Museum, visited the fifth-grade students at Brockbank Elementary. The students enjoyed a fun science lesson on chemical and physical changes. After a demostration from Ms. Abiang, the students were then able to conduct their own chemical reations. It was a very fun way to learn!
