Brockbank kindergarteners recently celebrated making it through "100 days of school". To celebrate this achievement they had a fun filled day of activities centered around the number 100. They earned an official "100 Day" certificate by completing the following activities; counting 100 objects, taking a 100 step walk, doing 100 exercises, completing 100 seconds of silence (at least tried to), having a 100 day magic trick, discussing what they could eat 100 of, and there was a 100 drops of water test.

Brockbank Elementary recently celebrated "100 Days of School!" Students celebrated this day in several different ways. First-graders used the number 100 in math skills like counting and place value; they wrote down 100 words that they have learned how to read and write this year; they drew pictures of what they would look like if they were 100 years old; they made cool glasses to wear; and they named 100 things you can eat and 100 things you cannot eat.

Recently some members of the Spanish Fork High School PTSA (Parent Teacher Students Association) came to Brockbank. PTSA is a club that helps students get involved in their community by performing services. For one of their service projects they came to Brockbank and interacted with first-graders. The first-graders really enjoyed spending time and connecting with these students. Out of the 23 members that came 13 of them attended elementary school at Brockbank. It was fun to see these students come back to Brockbank!

Brockbank Elementary is happy to announce the Hansen Heroes for January.

Friday, January 20, Brockbank had a very special visitor. BYU's mascot, Cosmo came and visited with the students. He came as a reward for the great job students did bringing food for the food drive held recently. The student council sponsored the drive and worked hard to get all the students excited about it. When students brought in food they had to decide if they wanted to be on team BYU (blue) or team University of Utah (red). The food drive was a great success!

Spirit Week concludes with Brockbank's Birthday celebration on Friday,  January 27.  Students and staff wore their school shirts and room parents  brought treats in to help the classes celebrate. Happy 53rd Birthday Brockbank  Elementary! 

Thursday, January 26, the Spirit Week dress-up theme was "Decade Day". Brockbank students and staff were to dress like the decade of their choice. The students really enjoyed dressing up and having everyone guess what decade they were dressed from. 

Wednesday, January 25, to continue with Brockbank's spirit week activities, Brockbank had a "Crazy Hair Day". There were some very creative hair dos, both boys and girls alike. 

Happy 53rd Birthday Brockbank! Brockbank celebrates its birthday each year by hosting School Spirit Week. During this week, January 24-27, students and staff celebrate by dressing up according to a different theme each day. On Tuesday, Jan. 24 it was "Backwards Day" several students wore their shirts and jackets backwards, some even wore their pants backwards.

On January 19, 2012, 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 67 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.
