Principal's Message - Week of February 3
Dear Bryan Road Elementary Families:
Teacher Workday
Monday, February 17th is a teacher workday. There will be no school for students.
Winter Wonderland
Join us on February 13th from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm for this year’s winter family event. We’re excited to welcome Mathnasium, Christy’s DancExplosion, and Nicole Niwa’s robotic friend. Parents will have the opportunity for teacher conferences (please register with your student’s teacher) along with time to engage in make-and-take activities.
Sweetheart Dance
The Bryan Road Elementary School PTA is happy to host this year’s Sweetheart Dance. All Third through Fifth Grade students are invited to celebrate on Thursday, February 6th from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm for a night of music, food, dancing and fun! Tickets are $8 (each ticket admits one student and one adult). Order your tickets today.
A parent/guardian must accompany students during the dance.
Sweetheart Dance and Valentine’s Dance Party Volunteers
Please consider supporting our upcoming holiday events for students. Our Sweetheart Dance committee is seeking volunteers to help on February 6th with set up, monitoring during the dance, and cleaning up. On February 7th, our Kindergarten through Second Grade students will enjoy a dance party during their Specials time. Board approved volunteers are needed to serve snacks and offer monitoring with our Specials teachers.

Girls on the Run
Girls on the Run is an after school program like no other! Twice per week for 10 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels, and learn important life skills. Trained and caring coaches lead 3rd-5th grade girls through interactive lessons and movement activities. The season ends with a celebratory 5K event.
This year’s program is still seeking coaches among our parents and teachers. The student participation fee is waived for parents who serve.
