Friday, March 30, Brockbank had two representatives from the Utah Water Van program come to visit. The Utah Water Van is an educational outreach program about Utah's water cycle and is offered by The Living Planet Aquarium to fourth-grade students throughout Utah. Fourth-grade students were allowed through the use of models, to see and better understand Utah's water cycle and how Utah uses its water. Students learned about water conservation, importance of wetlands and about some of Utah's native wetland plants and animals.
Brockbank's Speech Teacher, Mrs. Susan Johnson helped to start and supervise an after school tennis program. Mrs. Johnson has over 30 years of tennis experience and wanted to give the students something else to do inside during the winter months. So with the help of the United States Tennis Association who generously donated junior size tennis nets, foam balls, and rackets, and with the help of volunteer staff members, she made it happen. The first session was for the older grades 4-6 and currently the younger grades 1-3 are meeting one day a week for an hour after school.

Brockbank Elementary is raising money to support Huntsman Foundation to fight against cancer. The sixth-grade student council members met and decided to have a school wide "Penny War". Each grade level has a sealed can for students to put money in. The object is to get more points than the other grades. Pennies are each worth 1 point. There is a catch - if you put anything other than pennies in your can, it subtracts points from your total. For example, if you put a quarter in your can you are subtracting 25 points.
