Hello Bradfield Families!

We continue celebrating our staff members for their hard work. Help me congratulate Kristi LaViolette, Sarah Nelson and Courtney Kemendo who were recognized by Park Cities Learning Differences Association (PCLDA) for going above and beyond for students with learning differences. These ladies were acknowledged during the District PCLDA Awards Ceremony where Kristi LaViolette was selected as the overall winner for Bradfield.

I am proud of our 3rd and 4th grade students for working diligently as they did their best on the second round of the STAAR assessment. Our students felt confident and well prepared as they tackled the new platform. Even though we are predicting to receive the student results late May, the state will not be setting the passing standards and/or convoluted rating formulas until possibly August or later. Nonetheless, we are proud of the students and staff for a job well done! Great job, Broncos!



Our annual Bike Rodeo was a huge success thanks to Beth Beakley and Harlan Hrncir. Thank you to these ladies and their team of volunteers who helped setup/breakdown and work the rodeo so the students were able to participate in a fun Bike Rodeo followed up by a little Cinco de Mayo pinata celebration. A special thank you to SRO Connel, Lt. Koppa and Lt. Russell who helped with the safety sessions as well as the outdoor rodeo and judging.

Congratulations to our Bike Rodeo Poster Contest winners, Anna Apple and Lucian Siegwart. Bradfield SRO Connel, HPDPS Officer Koppa and Russell judged the competition and said there were so many unique entries and they were proud of those who participated. Great job, Anna and Lucian!

Congratulations to fourth grader, Lily Shi for winning 1st place in TAG Math Olympiad contest. She competed against 18 other fourth graders. Awesome job, Lily! 

I had the opportunity to meet with the newest third grade teachers and discuss “All things Bradfield” where they were able to provide suggestions and feedback for the upcoming school year. Vivi Hunt, Jack Baird, Sita Francis, Annabelle Williams and Sutton Walker shared their suggestions as they took on the role of Third Grade Teacher of the Day. They were especially helpful when it came to technology updates. Nice job, teachers!

I encourage you to check out the Broncoland spotlight below. This week’s highlights include: Science Lab and Bike Rodeo.

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

We had a spirited time at the Bike Rodeo Fiesta on Friday! Thank you so much to Co-Chairs, Beth Beakley & Harlan Hrncir, who put together such a fun morning! The 3^rd and 4^th graders enjoyed their bike safety lesson from Highland Park Police Chief Lt. Koppa, they took a few spins on the obstacle course, and of course seeing that it was also Cinco de Mayo, it wouldn’t have been a fiesta without pinatas! Thank you to all of our Moms and Dads that came out to set up, take pictures and help clean. And thank you to Mr. Dale & Officer Connel who gave a lending hand to ensure everything went smoothly.

I also want to take an opportunity to thank Dad’s Club President Scott Trulock and the Bradfield Dads Club for their outstanding help this year. Scott has been exceptional answering the call of every PTA request that has come his way…and there have been a lot! The PTA loves our Dads, and we could not do all of our fun events without you. We appreciate all the mornings you have spent opening car doors, lending your muscles, serving in the cafeteria, and even putting on that hot Blaze costume. Thank you so much, Dads!!

Fondly,

Kate Cutshall
