Hello Bryant families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful week off with family and friends. School resumes 11/28/2022. We are looking forward to seeing all of our students back on campus.

It's the holiday season! This is my favorite time of the year. The holiday season brings togetherness, love, and gratitude. I want to thank EVERYONE for your donations for your Thanksgiving giveaway. We were able to provide food to several of our families. The excess was donated to a local shelter. Mrs. Contreras's class was the winner of our pizza party. Collectively, the class provided 138 cans of vegetables for our food drive. Thank you so much to our Bryant community for your continued support. Our school site is a special place and it's because of you. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to serve this community.

We have about 3 weeks before Christmas break. During this block of time, we typically see a drop in student attendance. Don't let up! Please ensure your child is at school, on time, everyday ready to learn.

As always, Bee Fantastic, Bee Great, Bee the Difference! Have a great week!
