Bradfield Families,
Great Friends Day is always a well attended tradition. This year, we welcomed many new faces and we cherished our returning ones. Our Great Friends traveled from a variety of places such as San Francisco, Ohio, Boston, New Jersey and Florida. But this year, I believe this was the first time we had a visitor from Denmark. No matter if this was their first Great Friends Day or their 24th, we were thrilled to have each of them attend!

A special thank you to those who helped Great Friends Day be such a success!
-
PTA Great Friends Day Chairs, Jami Nelson & Tracy Walder, for planning, organizing, communicating and ensuring we had valet service and photo opps.
-
Bradfield Music Teacher, Mr. Foley for teaching our students and having them deliver a stellar performance. Seniora Parker for jumping in and helping our students demonstrate their language acquisition in Spanish.
-
Cafeteria Staff, Ms. Susan, Debra, Joyce & Jaime for hosting a wonderful welcome reception.
-
Mr. Dale and Team for the set-up and breakdown.
I would also like to thank our PTA Book Fair Chairs Amanda Bailey, Sara Shuart & Ashley Mitzel who helped Mrs.Kennemer and special guest, Mrs. Jent. Our Broncos loved shopping this week. Not only did they get some great reading materials, but the money raised more money than ever before which goes back to purchasing more library books. Thank you, ladies!
If you still want to purchase books and support the library, click on our Bradfield Book Fair Homepage and scroll to the bottom and click on the “Shop Now” button. You have until April 3rd to shop!

The first annual Park Cities Dads Club Pickleball tournament held on Saturday, March 23 at Royal Oaks Country Club was won by two Bradfield Dads - Grant Carona & Will Jaudes.
With over 50 teams represented from every elementary school, MIS, HPMS and HPHS, the competition was fierce, but our Bradfield Dads did not disappoint! Our Bradfield Dads team did not lose a match (or even a set) in their accomplishment of the gold medal.
With this victory, Grant and Will's names will be engraved on a perpetual trophy which will proudly be displayed at Bradfield Elementary for one year until the next tournament in 2025. Kudos to Grant and Will for representing our beloved school! Wish them congratulations if you see them in the hallways or at drop-off or pick-up!

It was a fun and busy week here at Bradfield with a lot of activity packed into 4 days!
I’d like to thank our Book Fair Chairs, Sara Shuart, Amanda Bailey & Ashley Mitzel for all the hard work they put into our Book Fair! I hope all your children were able to “Find A Good Book”! Also, a special shout out to all the parents who helped work at the Book Fair this week. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks to your hard work (and the support from all of our students, staff, parents, and great friends) we were able to raise $38K for the Bradfield Library at our Book Fair this year!
I’d also like to thank Jami Nelson & Tracy Walder, our Great Friends Day Chairs. These girls worked so hard to plan a fun and special day for all of our Great Friends and family members. I hope you enjoyed our Texas themed performances and classroom visits! And thank you to all of our volunteers who helped to make this such a successful and special event.
I hope you enjoy the long weekend with family & friends!
