Brayton Business

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. They are always nice when they come along.

Mr. Joel (Joe El) Aviles has joined the Brayton community as our new Head Custodian. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Aviles to Brayton. We are very happy to have him here.

The Lost and Found is once again overflowing, please remind your children to check it for any lost items.

Congratulations to the third grade for their Immigrant Round Table. What a wonderful way to learn about members of the Brayton community. Everyone has a story, all we have to do is listen.

Enjoy your weekend.

In Partnership,

Shane Zeigler

Citizens of the Month (2G and 3I)

Thank you to the Brayton Bobcat community! With your help, January’s reusable bag collection was a huge success! As a result, the collection has been extended through the end of February. 2G and 3I will continue to collect reusable grocery bags and donate them to G.R.A.C.E. Each Friday the bags will be picked up by a member of G.R.A.C.E. and then used for their food distribution program. Thank you for your continued support in making this a worthwhile and successful service project!

Sincerely,

Rob Gannon and Christina Inghilterra
