A Message From The Principal

This truly is a cherished time of year, as the spirit of joy fills our school building like no other. It’s a season for coming together to celebrate the rich cultures and treasured traditions close to our hearts. At East Bradford, we take pride in our individuality, find common ground in our shared experiences, and embrace the beauty of acknowledging and respecting our differences.

As principal, I am especially delighted by the kindness and support our students show one another. Whether exchanging positive words on the playground, sharing heartfelt compliments, or offering encouragement in the classroom, our students embody the spirit of community and compassion.

December is always a busy and exciting time at East Bradford! Our fifth graders are hard at work preparing for their spring musical, while the entire school is joyfully learning songs for our festive Holiday Sing-Along. A special shout-out goes to Mrs. Hindman and her incredible team of book fair volunteers, who continue to foster a love of reading among our students.

We’re thrilled to welcome back our holiday craft fair for a second year, giving all our students the chance to create meaningful gifts for their loved ones. And, of course, none of our classroom holiday parties would be possible without the amazing efforts of our homeroom parents. Thank you for your dedication and support!

Wishing everyone in the East Bradford community a joyous holiday season filled with warmth, laughter, and togetherness. May the festive spirit shine brightly in our school and throughout your homes!
