A Message from Principal Dumar

Hello Bradfield Families!

All School Book Club will be wrapping up this Friday. I hope you have enjoyed spending time with your children as we all read the same book, Marty McGuire. Information went home with students about a culminating event centered around writing. The students will also be in for a fun surprise later this week with a possible Mystery Reader and animals. Thank you again to our campus ASBC Committee, Amy Jent, Leslie Kennemer, Holly Bond, Kim Sweaney, Karen Voltoline, Kay Jones, Morgan Willey & Kristi LaViolette for their hard work behind the scenes to make this a fun event for our families.

Bradfield Science Fair is soon approaching. A quick reminder, the deadline to register is Tuesday, January 24. I am excited to see what our young scientists are wondering about and how they put their hypothesis to the test! See below for more information.

Bradfield Dads Club continued the beloved tradition of the Daddy Daughter Dance this past week. It was so adorable to see how excited our girls were as they anticipated their date with their daddy. Thank you, Paul Rowsey for chairing this special event and helping create lasting memories for our families!

Thank you to Bradfield’s TAG teacher Kathleen Berry for organizing and promoting the annual Blood Drive this week. Not only does this help support such a wonderful cause, but it goes right along with the third grade unit on researching what role the heart plays in helping our body work. Students were able to observe the entire blood draw process as many parents and staff members took this opportunity to donate blood to help our local supplies. Thank you to all who took time out of their busy schedule to do their part in saving the lives of others.

The writer of last week was first grader, Cordelia Taylor, in Mrs. Novak’s’ class. Her assignment was to write a haiku poem. Not only did she do a phenomenal job writing her poem, but she was able to share it by singing it on BBTV with author Kate Messner at her side. Great job, Cordelia!

I encourage you to check out the Broncoland spotlight below. This week’s highlights include: All School Book Club, Daddy Daughter Dance and Science Lab.

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

The State of Texas 2021-2022 School Report Card for Bradfield Elementary is now available. This is a report required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. It is to be sent to the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in a Texas public school. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures.

The information contained in the School Report Card is required by state law and is briefly described in the 2021-2022 School Report Card Definitions. The report for our school may or may not have all the information described because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school.

State law requires that the School Report Card display information about the state, the district, and the school. Where possible, the information must be reported by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status of the students and must include at least two years of results.

The School Report Cards can be found online at the Texas Education Agency website.

A Message from our PTA President, Kate Cutshall

We are less than a week away from the Science Fair! I hope your little scientists have had fun at home creating their projects. This year we added in more prizes, and the classes with the most participation will enjoy a pizza party! The students will also enjoy cheering on their classmates at the awards assembly and there will be ice cream for everyone.

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

A HUGE thank you to the Bradfield Dads Club for putting on an epic Daddy Daughter Dance on Thursday night! We are so lucky to have this cherished tradition and it truly creates memories for a lifetime. As a parent of a 4^th grade daughter, I’m particularly emotional…these years go by in a blink!

Another shout out to our resident in-house artist, Brooke Ryan. She has created yet another masterpiece in the display case for the Science Fair! Thank you, Brooke, you are such a gift to us. Parents, please be sure to check it out on your way into school.

And finally, thank you to Bradfield dad, Austin Adam. Mrs. Barnes’ 4^th grade class had the wonderful opportunity to hear Austin speak about his exciting career as a pilot. He explained to them what it was like to cross oceans and spend so much time on the other side of the world. The kids had great questions asking things such as how he trains for emergencies, or where do the extra pilots sleep, and if he likes airplane food or not! What a cool experience for these kids!

Fondly,

Kate Cutshall
