Bransford Blast
January 28, 2018
A HUGE thank you to our amazing Bransford Dad, Jeremiah Reynolds, for donating his landscaping services to install a beautiful rock border around Harmony Park. He spent his weekend as well as paying his own team to help install. Thank you, Jeremiah and Grass Masters landscaping services!
Our third graders brought Tacky the Penguin to life! It was so much fun seeing our Texans showcase their talents through acting, singing, movement, and instrumentals! See below for a few pictures.
If your talented Texan would like to spotlight their talent in the Talent Show, please complete this form.
Lots of fun coming in the month of February! February 5th marks the 100th day of school! Hard to believe we are more than half way through the school year. Still lots of great learning and experiences to come! To begin with, Girls on the Run starts next week. There are a couple of spots left for this wonderful program. Click here for more information. Fitness Force starts back on Wednesday, February 7th. Save the date for the Bransford Blood Drive on February 13, 2018! More details coming soon. Join our Texans on February 14th at 2:00 p.m. for Valentine's Day parties. On February 15th our Texans and GCISD will celebrate Kindness. Wear a Bransford shirt or Rachel's Challenge shirt.
Looking forward to a great week and month as we continue to build an excellent school together!
