A Message from Principal Dumar | |

Bradfield Families,
Great Friends Day is quickly approaching. The students, teachers and volunteers have been working diligently to provide a memorable experience for our honored guests. I could feel the excitement as I walked through the classrooms. Students were practicing their performances, creating poetry and fine-tuning their projects.
How can you help make it a successful Great Friends Day?
-
Complete the RSVP form to speed up the check-in process.
- Encourage your Great Friends to:
- Arrive early.
- Plan to visit the classroom after the performance.
- Stop by the Book Fair to purchase a special book and support Bradfield.
- Look for the photo opportunity in the front foyer area.
-
Return the permission slip, to your teacher, if your child will be leaving early. (Slips were sent home in Friday folders.)
- Remind your children to leave their backpacks home on Thursday.
The Book Fair kicks off this Monday after school and runs through Thursday. Please check the information below to help build the love of reading and support Bradfield’s library.
On behalf of the students and staff, I would like to say thank you for the generous support from our PTA and Dads Club during Spring Gift this year. Between the PTA and Dads Club they gifted over $320,000 that will directly impact student learning, opportunities, the safety of our students and much more! Our Broncos would not have this if it weren’t for your continued generosity and support. Thank you, Bradfield families!

HPISD is looking for the "unsung heroes" who are going the "extra mile" in serving our students, staff, families and community. In the spring, the District "Heart At Work" award committee will review all those recognized on each campus and choose one professional and one paraprofessional from each campus and the District office to be honored and awarded $500 at the annual staff recognition banquet.
"Heart At Work" nominations can be submitted by teachers, administrators, staff, students, parents, families, and anyone interested in the well-being of our HPISD community. Candidates can not be nominated by relatives.
All nominations must be submitted on the "Heart At Work" award nomination form and sent electronically from now through March 31, 2024. Nominees submitted after March 31, will be considered in the proceeding award cycle of winners. Learn more.

A Message from our PTA President, Laura McCallan | |

We’re well on our way into the 4th 9 weeks of school. I hope you and your kids are excited for the Book Fair & Great Friends Day next week!
I’d like to thank Erika Burton & Madison Strode, our Donor Relations chairs, for organizing a successful give back event at LoveShackFancy this week! 15% of purchases made during the event will come directly back to Bradfield.
I’d also like to take a minute to thank Elise Riter & Katie Kelton, who have been in charge of all of our art hanging and art display this year. These girls have worked closely with Mrs. Cromley to ensure all of our students’ beautiful art is displayed throughout the halls for all to enjoy!
I’d also like to thank our Joys & Concerns team- Dianna Swope, Carol Gurganus & Nicole Somerville. These girls are always busy behind the scenes celebrating happy times for our families and staff, as well as providing support during lower times. This is not an easy job, and I appreciate this team for always providing our families with support when they need it the most.
