A Message from Principal Dumar

Hello Bradfield Families!

Broncos enjoyed participating in International Dot Day this week. Our students are definitely creating their positive “mark” on those around them.

Ms. Richard’s 3rd grade class celebrated her upcoming nuptials (Friday, September 22nd) with a wedding shower this past week. In addition to fun food and a gift basket, the highlight was a “Marriage Advice” book created by the students and given to her as she starts this exciting new chapter.

Farmer Kim is back in the Learning Garden and the Broncos are “digging” the garden and enjoying the new signage thanks to our fabulous PTA.

Walk to School Day was a huge success thanks to our wonderful PTA and Herb’s Coffee. What better way to end the week than fresh air and a little extra fuel for the big Broncos! Thank you to all who participated.

The Bradfield Dads Club hosted their annual Dads Breakfast this week. Thank you to BDC President, Scott Trulock and his team for starting this year on such a positive note. I am thankful for our Dads and their dedication to their children and the Bradfield community. It’s not too late to join this group of men to volunteer and have fun doing it!

Thank you to PTA for teaming up with Neiman Marcus and spreading a little joy to the staff this week. We loved the goody bag and we truly had a “beautiful” day!

MAP Family Reports will be posted in Skyward soon:

The MAP family report gives you an opportunity to view MAP Growth results for your children. This report makes it easy to see not only how your child is achieving, but also how they're growing.

MAP Growth is especially designed to measure growth over time. The solid line on the graph represents the student's scores. The dotted line represents the NWEA norms. These are the typical scores for each grade level, subject, and season for students across the country.

To access the report in Skyward, click "Portfolio" under "Family Access" and then download the report. If you have multiple students, switch names to see each student's report.

If you have additional questions about MAP Growth, you may want to reference the Family Toolkit or visit with your child’s teacher in your upcoming Parent Conference.

I look forward to seeing you and your children at the front door!

WE ARE BRADFIELD BOLD!

It’s going to be a fun-filled week of reading with our 4th Annual Reading Rodeo! This read-a-thon fundraiser encourages students to achieve a personal reading goal while raising funds for Bradfield. Thanks to the generosity of our underwriting sponsor, Origin Bank, 100% of the funds raised will directly benefit Bradfield! Please help us achieve our goal of raising $75,000!

We'll kick off with a Pep Rally during morning arrival on Wednesday, September 21 . After school, students can create their own fundraising page by logging onto pledgestar.com/bradfield.

From September 21-28, students will:

Read during school and at home.
Record the minutes they read by visiting pledgestar.com/bradfield.
Ask family, friends, and neighbors for their support

Every student can participate in the Reading Rodeo, regardless of his or her financial contribution.

All minutes and pledges must be logged by 10 pm on Wednesday, September 28. The Reading Rodeo will culminate with an awards ceremony on Friday, September 30 during which prizes will be awarded to the top readers and classes.

Here is the schedule!

Questions? Kendra Allen, Aubrey Labanowski & Susannah Bame

We'd love your help!

Volunteers will be eligible to receive $5 off any purchase of $20 or more.
