Yearbooks. Thanks to the great generosity of Bryant parent Mark Craypo, we will have a printed yearbook with pictures contributed by staff and some parents. We will distribute yearbooks to children in the final days of school. They cost $5 and may be paid through MySchoolBucks (Ms. Judith will set up an account on Monday) or in our office. Note: We do our very best to represent all students in the book but make no promise for perfection.

Rainbow Rally Field Day is Thursday June 11th.  The day will begin at 9:00 am with races at Hilltop Heritage for 1^st-8^th grade and conclude with more field day fun at Bryant in the afternoon.  It will be a day of celebrating the many colors, personalities, strengths, and backgrounds that make the Bryant School community brighter, stronger, and more beautiful when we come together.  In order for this day to happen we need help from you, our beautiful Bryant community.  Click here for sign-up times and roles.  Also please send your student with a dry change of clothing to change into after our wet and wild fun.
