What a great STEAM week we had. Thank you to all the parents who participated!

Have a wonderful weekend.

In Partnership,

Today we had a wonderful author's visit with Mike Dawson. Mike Dawson is the author of numerous graphic novels and cartoon essays, written for both children and adults. His works include the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selected books for middle-grade readers, The Fifth Quarter and The Fifth Quarter: Hard Court, the Ignatz-award winning Troop 142, the Eisner-nominated Rules For Dating My Daughter, and the charming memoir of a Queen-obsessed childhood, Freddie & Me.

Thank you to the PTO for bringing him to Brayton!

Brayton students signed a flag to show appreciation and thanks to all of the Veterans who sacrifice so much to keep us safe. The flag will be sent to retired Major Rob Fessock. It will be displayed in the Veterans Hospital in Orlando, Florida.

Thank you, parents, for your wonderful presentations and sharing your STEAM careers with us. Students had a great time.
