A Message from Principal Dumar

Bradfield Families,

As we head into the week before Thanksgiving, Mrs. Adams and our KC Club are teaming up again to “Fill the Waggon'' to help the local food banks. We ask that our families join us again as we “Enter to Learn and Go Forth to Serve” and carry on this valued tradition of helping those in need.

Thank you to our Second Grade mothers, Mallory Broaddus, Sarah Claire Corrigan, Katie Patterson and Elise Riter for hosting a wonderful luncheon with thoughtful gifts and beautiful fall flowers for the staff. A special thank you to Bradfield parents Edith and Andrew Kelley for graciously providing a delicious lunch from New York Sub.

Kindergartners joined in their traditional Fairy Tale Day in a culminating project as they wrapped up learning what makes a story a fairy tale. The activities were enjoyed by knights, goldie locks, princesses, the 3 little pigs and many more characters. Thank you to our Kindergarten teachers and parents for continuing this loved tradition.

This week’s Writer of the Week was second grader, David Alexander, from Ms. Fischer’s class. His assignment was to write a “How To” piece where David informed the listeners, step by step, how to make donuts. He brought a donut maker and used the visual aid as he explained the important ingredients that are critical to make the perfect donut. Thank you, David, for sharing how to make your favorite breakfast treat!

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

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

Highland Park ISD has been working diligently to align mathematics instruction across grade levels and campuses. A new mathematics framework and unit maps for every grade level are being implemented. Family Math Night is an excellent opportunity to learn more about what is happening in math classrooms and how families can support their children's learning at home.

Parents are invited to join district consultant Dr. Tasia Brafford, Executive Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Professional Learning Amy Wood, and HPISD Math Coordinator Michelle Stewart for a night of mathematics fun and learning.

Proceeds benefit Kindergarten & 1st Grade at Bradfield and Armstrong.

The ABPA provides a great way for parents of young children to connect with other families in our neighborhood. Join today!

A Message from our PTA President, Laura McCallan

Believe it or not, this is our last eBulletin before we part ways for Thanksgiving. I hope all of our Bradfield families & staff enjoy the time off with friends & family, and return from the break refreshed and ready to take on the final weeks of 2023!

Before we break for turkey & pie, I’d love to thank our PreK, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, and 4th Grade Parent Party hosts who offered to open up their homes last week or this coming week. Thank you to Olivia Barder & Grant Miller, Jess & Andrew Rugg, Kate & Willing Ryan, and Corrie & Sean Rae for their hospitality during an already very busy time of year. Also, thank you to Joanna Iliff & Stephanie Ernst. These Parent Party Chairs did such a fabulous job coordinating all of our parties this year.

Go Broncos!
