Bradfield Families,
As you know, students will not attend school on Monday; however, the teachers are gearing up for our Winter Learning Conference. During the WLC: In Our Learning Era, teachers will learn from experts in their field and each other. A special thank you to Praying Parents for hosting our breakfast and the Clements Foundation for sponsoring our luncheon. I am looking forward to a great day of learning.
It’s almost time for our annual Bradfield Auction. This year, parents will be able to show off their best dance moves at the Bradfield Boogie Disco on Saturday, February 24. Don’t worry, if you are not able to attend this special event in person, you will still have the opportunity to join in the fun with the online Auction which opens for bidding, Tuesday at 7:00 AM. I would like to say thank you, in advance, for continuing to support Bradfield Elementary with your generosity. Also, a special thank you to our Auction Chairs, Katy Brooks, Monica Gibbs, Dianne Johnson and Stephanie Marynick for your planning and dedication in what I know will be a night to remember.
Congratulations to our second grade teacher, Caroline Fischer, who was honored at the HP Arts gathering this week as they awarded her for being the outstanding teacher of HPISD who promotes the Arts within the general education setting. Each year, HP Arts recognizes one classroom teacher K-12 and this year, it was our very own Miss Fischer who earned this prestigious award for creating special opportunities for her students as she encourages their artistic interests. In March of 2023, she and her team created a 2nd grade musical: SWAMPED in which the students performed their musical at the Bradfield Open House. Miss Fisher also created a "Trashion Show" for her class which has been an annual tradition since 2018. She is truly a special teacher who goes above and beyond curriculum to share a love of the arts with her students and inspire other teachers as well. Congratulations, Miss Fischer!
|  | I would like to congratulate Bradfield Special Education and Preschool Coordinator, Dr. Cynthia Marlow who defended her doctoral dissertation this week through Southern Methodist University. We are proud of the work and time she has poured into her research and practice: Improving Literacy in Early Learners Through Skilled Intervention. Congratulations, Dr. Marlow! | |
Last week’s Writer of the Week was Kindergartner, Ann Campbell Drummond, from Mrs. Gosnell’s class. Her assignment was to write a How to Book where Ann Campbell chose to write How to Brush Your Teeth. She did a fantastic job mentioning the important steps to brush your teeth. She even gave a handy tip to remember to brush your tongue.Thank you, Ann Campbell, for sharing all of the important life long skills of brushing your teeth. Great job! | |

It was another exciting week at Bradfield! I hope your kids enjoyed celebrating Valentine’s Day and exchanging valentines with their classmates!
We have another busy week coming up here at Bradfield. It’s hard to believe that this is our last eBulletin before we all Boogie down at the Bradfield Boogie Disco on Saturday 2/24/24! I want to thank our four incredible Auction Chairs, Katy Brooks, Monica Gibbs, Dianne Johnson, and Stephanie Marynick for spending the past 10 or so months planning an incredible Auction event. I’d also like to thank Missy Peck and Medley Turner, who generously donated their time and access to their incredible event planning skills to help us with party logistics and entertainment. And, to the rest of the Auction Committee, whether you were creating graphics or soliciting for items and everything in between. We are SO thankful for ALL of you!
As many of you know, nearly 70% of our tax dollars are recaptured by the State of Texas. It is up to us as parents to bridge the gap in funds between what is given to us through taxes, and what is needed to provide our children with the very best education possible. With your support, the funds raised during our Auction directly impact Bradfield and YOUR child’s educational experience every day. Your fundraising dollars provide the necessary means to maintain many of our programs such as Spanish and STEAM, as well as to support teacher and aide salaries, technology, and continuing education for our staff members. Please take a few minutes to register to bid if you haven’t already. Our online Auction opens for bidding Tuesday at 7AM. We have a little bit of EVERYTHING in the online Auction, you’re sure to find something that makes you want to shake your groove thing! I hope to see each of you at the DISCO this Saturday!
