Brayton Business

It was a pleasure seeing so many of you today at the PTO meeting with Superintendent Hough. I hope you were able to have many of your questions answered.

Today, we had our Brayton Spirit Assembly where we discussed the importance of kindness and respect. Students wholeheartedly agree that the "B" in Brayton stands for Best!

Next week is Read Across America week. Please click on the picture below to see our upcoming activities.

Today is the last day of February, and I think I can safely say that we are all looking forward to the weather that March brings (the nice Spring days, anyway.)

Have a great weekend!

In Partnership,

Shane Zeigler

All City Band and Orchestra is an annual tradition here at Summit that combines all 5 elementary school band and orchestra students. The event is in the afternoon on April 2.

Students will experience the thrill of a large-scale rehearsal. During a break, they'll enjoy pizza and connect with fellow musicians from across the district. It's a fantastic opportunity to ask questions, experience what a 6th grade band and orchestra is like, make new friends, and of course, make music! The day culminates in a short performance showcasing their hard work.
