Jump Rope for Heart
Our Texans did an AMAZING job jumping and raising money for the American Heart Association. Bransford raised over $15,000 this year for the American Heart Association. All prizes should arrive in 4 to 5 weeks. If you have not turned in your pledges, there is still time to turn them in to Mrs. Atkins. Thank you for encouraging your Texan to give to this worthy organization. This is a wonderful example of our students being global citizens!

Spring has Sprung?!?!
The Bransford Garden Club will begin our spring meetings on Wednesday March 1st at 7 am. This spring we will continue to learn more about growing our own vegetables by planting, caring for, and harvesting green beans and squash. We will also learn about the importance of bees and other flying insects with our butterfly garden. We look forward to seeing all of our little gardeners the first Wednesday of each month at 7 am: 3/1, 4/5, and 5/3.
If you as a family or Bransford organization would like to help with the garden, but can not make our meetings, you still can! We welcome your help by watering and weeding our garden on the weekend. Here is the sign up genius for the spring: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c054baaa922aa8-garden
