Hello Bradfield Families!

It is hard to believe that Labor Day weekend has already come and gone. Even though I hate to say good-bye to summer, it’s a sign of all things fall: football, pumpkin spice lattes and cooler weather. 

Parents, please join us for Curriculum Night, September 6th. Classroom teachers will share important information during two sessions. 5:00-5:30 and 5:45-6:15. Please visit our HPISD website if you would like more information.

September 9th, Bradfield will proudly participate in National Remembrance and Service  Day. We will take this opportunity to honor our First Responders. Bradfield Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will play a special role as they help lead this important ceremony. Parents are welcome to participate as the students and faculty will gather around the flagpole, on the Sport Court, at 8:15 AM.

Check out our new Library furniture thanks to the Bradfield Dads Club and PTA. The new umbrella provides the much needed shade for the adorable moon chairs to jazz up our library reading patio. Our Broncos are loving having a new place to enjoy their books. Keep a lookout for our patio table and benches that will be arriving soon!

The students are back in their “element” with Bradfield’s Lab Lady, Mrs. Gleaton. 

Kindergartners used their sense of touch to explore various items in mystery boxes and attached different textures on their hand craft.

First grade students learned about living and nonliving things and compared the differences between a real fire belly toad and Kermy the stuffed frog.

Second grade students planted grass seeds to learn about the basic needs of plants. They will watch the seeds germinate and sprout over the next week.

Third grade students learned all of the steps of the scientific method through a penny lab. Students discovered that the surface of a penny can hold many more drops of water than they originally hypothesized.

Fourth grade students also learned the steps of the scientific method through a card stacking challenge. Each group had to problem solve with only 25 index cards to see how tall they could make their tower. 

Safety reminder: Students riding their bikes to school should remember to lock their bikes to the bike racks. I received a message from Detective Ballard, they have apprehended someone who had been taking bicycles in the Park Cities. If your child has recently had their mountain bike stolen, please reach out to:

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

As they say, the days are long, but the years are short… and this week sure went by in a blink!

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

Thank you so much to Meg Boyd, Meredith Ferrell, Lara Gaither, Lindsey Miller & Shannon Williams who knocked it out of the park with a festive kick off picnic for our 4th Graders! Our “Seniors” and their families got to enjoy a wonderful dinner from The Hamburger Man, and also received super rad 4th grade t-shirts and swag. The Class of 2031 is on their way to having a wonderful last year at Bradfield!

Fondly,

Kate Cutshall
