Good Evening, Bryant Families,

Here are the messages from Bryant for this week.

This is Teacher Appreciation Week. At Bryant, we use this to celebrate all staff. Please join the celebration. Hint: THE best acknowledgements have kid voice and expression, but the parent perspective is always welcome. The PTO is providing lunch for all staff on Thursday. You might connect with Cles if you want to contribute, but feel free to do your own thing.

May is National Bike and Roll to School month! Bryant is celebrating with a Walk and Roll to School Day on Friday, May 8th. The front gate will open at 8:20. Join other students and their families by walking, bicycling, or scootering to school. What a great way to start the day!

Monday is Sound to Narrows prep session one. Sound to Narrows Registration Info.docx 

Wednesday’s spirit day is pajama day. Be sure to set your child up for a typically active day.

Wednesday: No school for ECEAP.

Summer Late Nights is a free drop-in program. Students can attend as often as they like. I encourage you to register on Compass. You can get more information on our website.
