A Message from Principal Dumar

Dear Bradfield Families,

Before heading off to Spring Break, I would like to take a moment and send everyone well wishes as you prepare to enjoy time with your family. This week has been such an exciting week in Broncoland. Open House, the Art Show and the Second Grade Performance-SWAMPED were such a success. All of our students were able to shine and showcase their learning. Great job, Broncos!

A special thank you to our Art teacher, Ms. Cromley, and PTA Chairs, Catherine Evans and Erin Fuge, for their dedication in making this year’s Art Show phenomenal. Thank you to the parents for purchasing the beautiful artwork and supporting our Art department.

I would also like to thank our Second Grade Teachers, Mrs. Kennemer and volunteers, Mallory Broaddus, Jennifer Morton, Ashley Reid and Medley Turner for their hard work and time spent to guarantee such an outstanding performance. Our students were able to show off their marvelous talents. It was such a special way to wrap up Open House. Awesome job, Second Graders!

A special thank you to our incredible PTA for showing their support for our staff. They provided the staff a delicious dinner from Empire Baking Company before Open House as well as an extra special send off for Spring Break! The staff was elated when the little leprechauns sprinkled their magic around the building. We are grateful for the continued generosity and kindness from our families. On behalf of the staff, I thank you!

It has been an incredible privilege to serve as the Principal of Bradfield for the past seven years. It is with mixed emotions that I am preparing to retire as Principal of Bradfield at the end of this school year. After twenty-nine years as an educator, I have decided to begin the next phase of my life.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an active and supportive community. The relationships I have formed with students, parents, and staff members will always hold a special place in my heart. Your trust, support, and collaboration have been instrumental in the success of our school, and I am deeply appreciative of your contributions.

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of witnessing the growth and development of our Broncos, the dedication of our staff, and the unwavering support of our parent community. I want to express my sincere thanks to each and every one of you for your support and encouragement throughout my tenure as Principal. Your kindness and generosity have made my time here truly memorable.

In the coming months, our Superintendent Dr. Mike Rockwood and I, will be working closely with the HPISD School Board, the leadership team, staff and community to ensure a smooth transition. While I will miss being a part of this community, I am confident that Bradfield will continue to excel in the days, months and years ahead!

As I move to this next chapter in my life, I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. I look forward to spending more time with my husband, new grandbabies and experiencing new adventures.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and dedication. I am filled with pride and gratitude for all that we have accomplished together. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Principal of Bradfield Elementary.

I will cherish seeing you and your children at the front door until May 24!
