A Message from Principal Dumar

Bradfield Families,

As we head into a week of Thanksgiving, I would like to wish each of you a safe and memorable holiday with family and friends. As my family gathers around the table, we will pause to remember those who have impacted our lives even though they are no longer with us, and we will give thanks for the new additions that have been such a blessing. Even though I look forward to my Dad’s famous carrot cake and my Mother’s cornbread dressing, it’s the laughter and quality time I will cherish most. May each of you cherish your many traditions and make lasting memories this week. 

Thank you, Mrs. Adams and our KC Club, for keeping the tradition going to “Fill the Waggon” and helping the local food banks during this holiday season. Former Bradfield parent, Rachel Stephens has carried on the tradition of Ruth Altshuler, who was passionate about helping those in need. This is just one more way our Broncos “Enter to Learn and Go Forth to Serve.” Thank you, Bradfield families, for filling the red waggons.

Second graders continued their traditional Balloons Over Bradfield Parade as they paid tribute to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Each year, our Broncos take it to the next level as their floats take on their own personalities. Check out the link below for more photos. Great job, second graders!

I would like to share an important update regarding our School Resource Officer (SRO), Officer Michael Connel. After serving Bradfield Elementary with dedication and care, Officer Connel will transition to his new role as a rover officer serving the entire HPISD community. 

As you know, Officer Connel has been an integral part of our community during his time at Bradfield and will be dearly missed. His commitment to ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for our students, staff, and families has been exemplary. Whether through his participation in school events, daily interactions with students, or proactive approach to safety, Officer Connel has made a lasting impact. Even though we will miss Officer Connel as he begins this next stage in his career, he will continue to stop by Bradfield to visit and keep us safe. 

I am pleased to announce that Officer Holley, current SRO of Boone Elementary, will join Bradfield Elementary as our new School Resource Officer. Officer Holley has worked in Law enforcement for over 30 years. He spent 18 years of service with the City of University Park. During his tenure at UPPD, Officer Holley served as a patrol officer, warrants officer, and assisted with cases as a detective. Most currently related to HPISD, Officer Holley served as the DARE Officer at MIS and SRO for Hyer, MIS, and HPMS. Officer Holley is in his second year with HPISD PD where he has made a positive impact and has been serving as the SRO at Boone Elementary.



Officer Connel and Officer Holley will continue to serve at their current campuses until the perfect candidate is hired for Boone Elementary. I would like to extend my best wishes to Officer Connel in his new endeavors and warmly welcome Officer Holley to our Bradfield family.

I encourage you to check out this week’s Broncoland photos.
