Congrats to all our Herd Heros'
We had our final Herd Hero assembly of the 23-24 school year last Wednesday. I just wanted to say congratulations to all of our winners. I also wanted to thank the volunteers who helped put together signs, set up chairs, and dress up as our mascot for these assemblies. We appreciate you helping us celebrate our students each month.
Volunteers Needed!
The week of May 6-10 is staff appreciation week. I am partnering with Site Council to show the staff at Bradley some much deserved appreciation. We will have daily activities and treats all themed around Movies. Use the links below to sign up to help with Staff Appreciation.

Pop Tab Fundraiser Ending Soon!

Thank you to all who have participated in support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Playground Reminder
I am so pleased that we are experiencing some warmer weather, and kids are spending more time playing outside. I know that many kids play at the Bradley playgrounds after school and on the weekends, and they are welcome to do so. Please remind your children that toy weapons of any kind are not allowed at school even after school or on the weekends. This includes water guns, nerf guns, toy swords, etc. When playing on school property please remind students not to bring any toy weapons.
Thank you
Counseling Corner
Hi parents,
Congrats to all of our Herd Hero winners that displayed the character trait of courage. We are getting ready for our last trait of the year: creativity! One way to think about creativity is “using your imagination to create something new or solve a problem.” Opportunities to be creative are all around us! How can you find ways to be creative as a family this month? Creativity is 1 of 3 traits we focused on throughout the year that helps students be well. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like emotion regulation, positive self-talk, and stress-management.

This event is open to the community, with free entry (gate access required). Mechanical rides, inflatables, a DJ, food trucks/concessions (available for purchase), and a GREAT time are expected!
Walking is highly encouraged. If driving, park at the FCC, where a shuttle will be available. For the safety of all in attendance, please keep pets at home. We will have each station staffed to operate equipment - child supervision will be the responsibility of parents/guardians.

Beginning Monday, May 6, 2024, installation of a temporary fence will begin around the USD 207 Track and Field Complex, including Normandy Field. Mid-week, additional equipment will be staged in the area. All individuals intending to utilize the area need to exercise caution and refrain from tampering with equipment as it is delivered.
