Principal Update 

Literacy Night was a huge hit!  Thanks to all the families who joined us to engage in fun literacy activities with our teachers.  Thank you Ms. Distell and Ms. Gill for organizing a fun night and to our teachers for planning thoughtful, interactive and exciting activities.       

We had special visitors at Bradley today.  Teresa Gillian, Technician K9 Handler, and Shelby, the support dog, from the Denver Police Department came and visited some classrooms where our students learned about the purpose of having a therapeutic dog within the community.  The students enjoyed meeting and observing Shelby in action.
