Principal Update 

We want to thank our Bradley community for supporting our 1st grade 4Ocean Project. Thanks to you and the hard work of our first grade students, we successfully raised enough funds to remove over 500 pounds of trash from the ocean. This is a fantastic accomplishment that highlights the importance of environmental stewardship.  Today we had an exciting all school assembly, thanks to PTO,  featuring the Persian Iranian Dance Troupe. Students and staff alike were immersed in the beauty of Iranian and Arabic traditions, not only through dance, but also by exploring the rich history and language connected to these cultures. It was inspiring to see everyone fully engaged, demonstrating curiosity, respect, and a true spirit of international-mindedness.  It was a wonderful celebration of culture and diversity!  Mark your calendars for class picture day next Friday, March 21. Please ensure your child comes dressed and ready to smile for the camera!  

Have a great weekend,

Kimberly Ulery, Principal
