A Message from Principal Dumar

Bradfield Families,

We made it through 2023 and oh what fun we had in Broncoland! Before heading off to winter break, I would like to take a quick minute to highlight some of our moments that made this week extra special at Bradfield!



Thank you, Mr. Foley, for continuing the tradition of the Fourth Grade Winter Concert! The students take such pride in performing. No wonder I always hear such positive comments, from MIS, about how well prepared our students are with their music ability. Great job, Fourth Graders and Mr. Foley! 

Thanks to our First Grade Teachers and volunteers for making sure our First Graders enjoyed learning about many “Holidays Around the World.”

I cannot end 2023 without saying a special to thank you for making this year end on such a positive note. 

Thank you, Bradfield parents and students, for showing your appreciation to all of our staff members. The words of encouragement, smiles, cards and gifts are so thoughtful and we appreciate them so much. We cherish being in this wonderful community. 



Thank you, PTA, for your generous holiday surprises. The PTA elves were spreading joy for all to hear this week! Your kindness, support and love are always appreciated more than you know.

Thank you, Bradfield Dads Club for your generosity and making the Holiday Staff Party more festive than ever before! The food was delicious and believe me, the laughter could be heard from miles around! Also, a special thank you to Brandon and Jennifer Gleaton for opening your beautiful home for the staff to kick back, enjoy the fire pit, play a little darts and laugh until their hearts were content. 

Thanks to Bradfield Dads Club for hosting a wonderful Holiday Fiesta for the staff luncheon from Escondido. A special shout out to the Alexis family for their generosity towards the luncheon, and Rebecca Bell and Robin Hufsey for organizing such a festive time. The staff enjoyed the delicious luncheon and raved about extra pampering. Thank you!

Thank you, Room Moms, Room Dads and the many volunteers who helped make this year’s holiday parties and annual traditions a success. The Broncos had such a fun time from Holidays Around the World, to the Polar Express Day, to Grinch Day to building gingerbread houses. We could not have done it without your support. Thank you!

Last week’s Writer of the Week was first grader, Waverly Devall-Vergauwen, from Ms. Kimple’s class. Her assignment was to write a How to Book where Waverly chose to write about how to make hot chocolate. She provided tips such as blowing on it if it’s too hot and the most important tip was to share it with someone special. Thank you, Waverly, for sharing specific details about how to make the perfect cup of hot chocolate. 

Last but not least, I would like to thank my leadership team who did a phenomenal job standing in for me this week as our family welcomed our latest grandbaby on December 11th.  Blakely Ann weighed 7lbs. 6 oz., 19.5 inches long and is a great sleeper. We are blessed that everyone is healthy, and Breck checks on his “baby sister” often and has already started sharing his trucks with her. What a blessing. 

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

I wish each of our families a safe and wonderful holiday break. Cherish the times with loved ones and the joy in your children’s eyes. I look forward to seeing you and your children at the front door on January 3, 2024!
