Hello Bradfield Families!
All School Book Club wrapped up Friday with our Guest Readers, Chandler Morris and Drew Scott. Both gentlemen are former HP Scots who are now playing football at TCU. Click here to view Quarterback-Morris and Receiver-Scott who took time out of their busy schedule to read the final chapters of Marty McGuire from the TCU locker room. We are hoping to see some great things from these young men on the field next year.

I am certain your children expressed their excitement from the Creature Teacher visit as one of the culminating events to reading Marty McGuire. The students were thrilled to not only see animals such as kangaroos, but the event would not have been as meaningful without a really large bullfrog! One last thank you to our generous PTA and Dads Club who helped make this family experience possible. Also, thanks to our campus ASBC Committee, Amy Jent, Leslie Kennemer, Holly Bond, Kim Sweaney, Karen Voltoline, Kay Jones, Morgan Willey & Kristi LaViolette to make this a fun event for our families. | |
Over 130 Broncos took advantage of showing off their love of science in this year's Bradfield Science Fair. Thank you to Jennifer Gleaton, Bradfield’s Lab Lady, and PTA Co-Chairs, Mona Vineyard & Kei Doncic for the many hours of work to ensure this event was successful. From organizing, securing extraordinary judges to making the awards ceremony memorable, no stone was left unturned. Of course our scientist would not have been able to complete their science fair projects without the help from the families. Thank you, parents, for continuing to support your children in their learning endeavors. |  | |
A special thank you to our judges for volunteering their time and their scientific expertise.

Third and Fourth Graders enjoyed drumming with David Cox of Wichita Falls,Texas as he presented a Day of Drumming. Mr. Cox brought over 100 West African Djembe (jem-be) drums for our students to experience a true drum circle. Mr. Cox also explained the history of the importance of drumming as a way of communication between tribes in Africa along with how the drums were artistically hand carved and created. Many thanks to HP Arts for funding this amazing cultural and musical experience! |  | |
The writer of last week was first grader, Blythe Ryan, in Mrs. Voltoline’s class. Her assignment was to write a persuasive story. Although she did a fantastic job, she did not have to do much to persuade me that Dairy Queen’s Oreo Blizzard was the best ice cream treat. Blythe described in great detail how creamy and delicious this treat can actually be. We both agreed there should be a DQ much closer to where we live. Great job, Blythe!
We would like to extend our gratitude and best wishes to Spanish Teaching Assistant, Maria Nanclares as she leaves Bradfield to begin an internship. Ms. Maria has played a key role at Bradfield for the past five years as she has built relationships with our families and staff and encouraged students to strive to do their best. She will be dearly missed in the days to come, but she promises to keep in touch. We love you, Ms. Maria!
