Hello Bradfield Families!

I hope your 2023 has already started off on a positive note. We are anxious for your children to return tomorrow. Although the staff was able to engage in learning and planning today, it is just not the same without our Broncos! We look forward to seeing their smiling faces. 

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

January 9th is going to be an exciting day in Broncoland!

What is All-School Book Club?

All Bradfield students will read the same book at home with their families, with the goal of building a community of readers at Bradfield. Each morning, students will answer daily trivia questions from the previous night’s reading. Be sure to look for your book and a letter from Principal Dumar in your child’s backpack on January 9^th. Thank you to the Bradfield PTA and Dads Club for sponsoring All-School Book Club!

All-School Book Club is formerly known as "One School One Book".

In December, our Broncos focused on EMPATHY! Being able to connect and understand the feelings of others is important. We learned that using facial expressions, body language and tone of voice are helpful to understand what others may be feeling. We practiced showing and naming different feelings. Being able to connect to our own feelings, helps us to relate to others feelings and put ourselves in their shoes. Empathy is not trying to cheer someone up or fix their problem, but simply connecting to their emotions and taking the time to show that you care.  

Happy New Year, Broncos!! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and enjoyed being with family. I always love the quietness of January and a sense of peace starting the new year. We have lots of exciting things to look forward to in our next semester, and I know we will finish stronger than when we started. Please watch for more information about the Science Fair in the next week or so. It will be bigger and better than ever before, and we hope all our Bradfield scientists will participate!

Please join me in thanking the following volunteers for keeping Bradfield BOLD:

• Before winter break our wonderful Elves delivered gifts from the PTA to our amazing teachers and staff. Thank you to Gift Chairs, Sari McCoy & Emily Klein, who organized all the gifts and to Laura McCallan, Kamela Aboussie, Diana Swope & Lindsay Grider for helping distribute! 



• Also, thank you to Kendra Allen & Katie Tauscher who helped sort through the massive Lost & Found collection! The Genesis Women’s Shelter happily received over 10 bags of clothes. Thank you, Parents, for your unintended donations!

Fondly,

Kate Cutshall
