Hello Bradfield Families!

Big news on campus this week. Bradfield Dads Club provided the ultimate coffee machine for our Bradfield family! From espresso to an iced mocha, it makes it all. We can’t thank our Dads enough for making us feel extra special and providing this incredible treat. Thank you, BDC!!

Chef Ray Duey had our PreK-4 Broncos thinking about food in an unique manner. Not only did he design lavious jewelry but also created animals and floral arrangements from vegetables and fruit. Thank you to second grade teacher, Caroline Fischer, for organizing the event and PTA for funding such a remarkable experience for our students. 

Congratulations to Kindergarten teacher, Kim Sweaney & Officer Connel for earning the Heart at Work Award last week for Bradfield Elementary. Superintendent, Dr. Trigg along with his prize patrol surprised the staff members with certificates and pins. Congratulations!

Officer Connel & Dr. Jaime Callahan presented pertinent information on campus safety and MAP assessment during our PTA general meeting this week. We appreciate them taking the time to visit with our parents. 

Red Ribbon Week, Pumpkin Carving and Costume Day are all wrapped-up into next week! I would like to reiterate that Friday, October 28 students will wrap up Red Ribbon Week with Hocus Pocus, Everyone Focus by saying no to drugs. School appropriate costumes may be worn by students and staff. (Costumes that are scary, gory and/or contain play weapons are not allowed.)  Please check out the links below to make sure you are in the know. 

Thank you to the PTA, BDC, parents and students for showing your appreciation this week. I enjoyed the coffee, lunch and especially the handwritten cards from the students. They were so sweet and most definitely filled my bucket. I am blessed to come to school each day where parents, students and staff show kindness to one another and make this world a better place. Thank you for making my week!

I encourage you to check out the Broncoland spotlight below. Each week, I highlight student learning experiences in their classrooms and around the building. You never know when you may catch a glimpse of your child in the slideshow. 

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