A Note from the Office
Bryantville Families,
Happy Thanksgiving Break! In keeping with the Thanksgiving parade theme, our third graders have lined their hallway with their creative and unique balloon designs. Our kindergartners were coloring and designing balloons as well. During our first whole school community meeting today, our first graders paraded through with their “Thanksgiving Day” balloons! The community meeting today was planned and presented by our sixth grade ambassadors. They did an amazing job speaking to our students about Caring (December’s trait), what they were thankful for, and fun facts about Thanksgiving. Our younger students sang “Albuquerque Turkey” to end the meeting. Everyone did a terrific job! Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend filled with food, football and family!
Sincerely,
Jen Simmons and Traci Costa
