A Message from Principal Dumar

Hello Bradfield Families!

In the next month, our Broncos will have the opportunity to enjoy experiences that are made possible by your generosity. We are excited to bring Chef Ray Duey to Bradfield as he wraps up his visit to the State Fair. I cannot wait to see the incredible art he creates from food. I encourage you to ask your children about the most creative way the renowned Chef utilized his sculpting tools.

Thank you, to our Bradfield families who continue to support our Broncos. I enjoyed a special Donors Breakfast last week with your children. I took an informal survey and the favorite breakfast item seemed to be a tie between the bacon and the biscuits. Thank you, to Ms. Susan, Debrah, Joyce and Jaime for preparing such a delicious meal for all to enjoy.

I look forward to our first General PTA Meeting this Tuesday morning. After drop off, be sure to sign in at the office and join us in the Cafetorium to hear Officer Connel speak about safety and Dr. Jaime Callahan who will share more information about MAP assessments that K-4th grade students take throughout the school year.

Heart at Work Nominations for HPISD staff members may be submitted using this link.

Anyone in the community, staff or students may nominate a staff member who goes above and beyond in serving our students, staff, families and community. Let’s honor our staff members who display a servant’s heart, make a difference in the lives of others and inspire other HPISD employees through their actions. Each person nominated will be recognized at the campus level. In the Spring, the District Heart at Work Committee will review all of those recognized at the campus level and will select one certified and one non-exempt staff member from each campus to be honored and awarded $500 at the annual staff recognition banquet. I encourage you to nominate our dedicated staff members who make a difference in the lives of your children.

Questions? Mrs. Adams

Home Connection: Broncos are discussing responsibilities at home vs. responsibilities at school. We each make many choices every day. Every BRONCO is in control of every choice they make. Mistakes are a great way to learn responsibility and when children are younger, learning from mistakes usually doesn’t result in permanent consequences. Let mistakes be learning opportunities now rather than later!

Follow up question ideas: *What is the difference between “taking responsibility” and “being responsible”? *How do our choices impact our relationships and our school day?

A Message from our PTA President, Kate Cutshall

Parents, I look forward to seeing you this Tuesday at our General PTA meeting. We hold these meetings twice a year and invite speakers that we hope you’ll find helpful as you navigate through your elementary school experience. Please come with any questions that you may have!

I would also like to ask that we continue to do our part as a community to help keep our campus clean and beautiful. We are so fortunate to partner with the YMCA on weekends for soccer and sports, but please help pick up any trash, clothing or water bottles that may get left behind.

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

We loved celebrating our crossing guards last week! The PTA showered TJ, Annetta, Janice, David and Donna with lots of treats. Thank you to Kamela Aboussie for putting the gift baskets together!

Fondly,

Kate Cutshall
