Brayton Business
September 13, 2024
From the desk of Principal Zeigler
Thank you so much for attending Back to School Night. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout. I hope you were able to get a better understanding of what your child's day looks like.
Next week, Brayton will be participating in "Start with Hello" week.
Start With Hello Week is a national initiative aimed at fostering a culture of kindness, inclusion, and empathy amongst students. This initiative was created by Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit organization founded by the parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School. This initiative encourages individuals to reach out to others and make a conscious effort to connect with people they may not know well. This simple act of kindness can help to reduce social isolation, bullying, and the risk of violence.
Friday, September 20th is Coffee with the Principal from 9-10 in the Brayton cafeteria. Hope to see you there!
Every Friday is Brayton Spirit Day, so don't forget to visit the PTO site to pick up some Brayton gear! September 23rd is the last day for purchases.
Enjoy your weekend!
In Partnership,
Ms. Zeigler
