Fridays at Brockbank are "School Spirit Days", each of the students are encouraged to wear their school T-shirts on this day. If they don't have school shirts they can wear the school colors (navy & maroon). The PTA is going to reward the classrooms that have the most school spirit throughout the year!! So wear your school spirit and help your class win!!
Tuesday, September 18, Brockbank kindegarteners in Mrs. Tara Farr's class had a very special visitor, Officer Roger Lowe from the Salem Police Department. He came to the class to talk to the students about personal and gun safety. He told the students that they should never go anywhere alone not even outside unless they tell someone where they are. He also told them they need to be responsible for their toys and bikes and make sure they are picked up at night and put away.
Congratulations to Brockbank's Foster Grandma Marie Hansen! Marie Hansen is a foster grandma in Mrs. Marcy Noorda's first-grade class and was recently honored by the Utah County Foster Grandparents for 19 outstanding years of service. She is currently on her 20 year as a foster grandma. Marie is a remarkable lady, at almost 90 years old she still maintains a garden and still cans most of the food she grows. She enjoys crocheting and tying quilts.
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.
Brockbank sixth-graders had an amazing visit from Peggy Eddleman, an up-and-coming author for middle grade books.
This year each week Brockbank is going to spotlight members of our faculty and staff as a fun way for everyone to get to know each other better. This week Brockbank is spotlighting Mrs. Suzanne Livingston and Mr. Cleon Lawrence.
