Bransford Blast

Can you believe it is the last week of school?!?! This year has been full of growth, learning, and fun for our Texans! We look forward to celebrating our Texans this week. Please see below for the schedule of celebrations. If you are planning on coming to any of the celebrations or our school-wide picnic on Tuesday, please arrive early to check-in with the front office or complete this form to have your badge pre-printed.
Thank you to all who came to field day on Thursday! We appreciate all of the the volunteers and supporters for our terrific Texans! What a fun day!
Congratulations to our choir students who received top honors at the Hawaiian Falls music competition this past week!
This week our Texans have two full days, Tuesday and Wednesday, and early release at 11:45 a.m on Thursday!
Looking forward to an incredible three day week as we continue to build an excellent school together!

Summer Reading
Stop the summer slide! "Research shows that kids who do not read during the summer months are more likely to fall victim to the "summer slide" — the learning loss that takes place during the long break from school. Parents say summer reading helps their child during the school year mainly because it helps keep their kid’s brain active and that reading requires constant practice," (Scholastic, 2018)
The GCISD Librarians have put together a Smore containing a wealth of information about how to keep kids reading over the summer. Remember, any reading that students do over the summer will count towards the 2018-2019 GCISD Reads challenge. Have a great summer and happy reading!
David's Law Cyberbullying Presentation
Parents, staff and community members are now able to watch the recording of the David's Law presentation covering cyberbullying and David's Legacy. This presentation and all previously recorded parent education programs are housed on the website.

End of Year Celebrations
Back to School Fair Volunteers
We are excited to announce that GCISD is once again partnering with the community to serve our economically disadvantaged students. The seventh-annual Back to School Fair is scheduled for Saturday, August 11, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at Grapevine High School. This is a collaborative event sponsored by GCISD, CONNECT, the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation, and the Women's Division of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce. Last year, with the support of our staff and community, these organizations provided free backpacks, school supplies, and other back-to-school needs to approximately 1,200 GCISD students.
We are in desperate need of volunteers! We need both English and Spanish speaking volunteers - the more, the better. This is a very rewarding experience and you will be happy you were part of it - guaranteed! We need assistance with checking families in, guiding families through the fair, and assisting nutrition and transportation with bilingual communication.
Join us in the fun of helping our less fortunate families. We look forward to seeing you there. If you have not already done so, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4aafaa22aafc1-btsf1
If you have any questions, please contact Emberly Hill.
