We are so excited to announce that our Teacher of the Year for the 2021-2022 school year goes to Mrs. BrynLee Pickering.  Mrs. Pickering is an amazing teacher.  She works hard everyday to help her students and grow.  You can tell that she loves and cares for each of her students and everyone at Brookside.

Mrs. Pickering has been teaching at Brookside for six years.  She has taught on year in fourth grade and five years in first grade.  She has mentored a lot of teachers coming onto the first grade team and always has good advise for anyone looking for some help.

We had a lot of students pick up trash out on the playground this week.

This past week our PTA hosted Teacher Appreciation week. The theme was "Teachers plant seeds that grow forever." It was an amazing week filled with treats and gifts that spoiled the staff at Brookside.  We were greeted Monday morning to sidewalk chalk in front of the school as we walked up to the building.

Mrs. Smith's class dissected owl pellets.  They were exploring energy and matter in animals and looking for the food chain of the owl.

We are so happy to celebrate these students who went above and beyond this week to show their Tiger Pride.  Janae Papa and JT Papa stopped to help another student, after school, to fix their bike chain.  Jack Niu helped another student to finish his work. Anika Thompson helped Mrs. Petersen, her student teacher stay on schedule throughout the day.

Brookside's Outstanding Employee of the Year is Mrs. Sandra Lamb.  This award is very well deserved.  Mrs. Lamb works in our Reset Room.  This is where students can go to reset.  If they are struggling, having a hard day or need to calm down, they are sent to Mrs. Lamb who helps them reset and return to the classroom.  Mrs.

Congratulations to these Tigers that received praise notes this week.  Sadie Hereth helped cleaned the tables everyday this week in the cafeteria.  Claire Hereth gave one of her BYU bracelets to a second grader who had lost theirs.  Brielle Ballard always does her best work. Aubree Forbes helped Mrs. Bishop. Ayva Haglund always tries to be a good friend to classmates.

The Student Council wanted to get pied in the face.  So, they started a fund raiser, Pack the Piggies.  They asked the students of Brookside Elementary to bring in spare change and help them raise $1000 so they could get a pie in their face.  Well, thanks to the charitable donations, they did it.  And yesterday, to celebrate pi day, they got pied.  They were excited and happy.  We appreciate all the donations.
