BRYANT SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
BryantElementary School will ensure rich educational opportunities in an environment of mutual trust and respect.
Notes from the Principal’s Desk …
April is Math month. We are including lots of real life application projects and fun filled activities. Math is something that needs to be connected to everyday skills that we do on a daily basis such as shopping and paying bills. All students who participate will have an opportunity to earn some really cool prizes
Our second annual daddy daughter dance was held on March 21 from 7PM-8:30. It is estimated that we had about 250 people in our gym dancing the night away. Our PTO hosted this event. Don’t worry mom’s….Mother/Son dance is scheduled for May.

STAY AT HOME SPRING BREAK TIPS
Something Fun Every Day
Make every day a different theme, using the things that your kids are interested in. Designate one day a “Backwards Day” or “Opposite Day” and do everything backwards. (Eat dinner food for breakfast, have pancakes for dinner, wear your clothes backwards and inside out, say goodbye when you greet someone, and say hello when you leave.)
Spring Day Trips
What’s within driving distance to where you live? Get out a map and let the whole family look at what’s nearby. Schedule some trips to an arboretum, a planetarium, museums, factory tours and other local offerings. Many attractions have free-admission days on week days and off season discounts, both of which you can take advantage during a spring break.
Volunteer
More and more college students are giving up party-filled Florida spring breaks in favor of building houses for Habitat for Humanity and other volunteer projects. You can do the same with younger children. Call your church or town hall to find out what volunteer opportunities are available. Sign up to do a week’s worth of laundry at a homeless shelter, serve dinners at a soup kitchen, or help out in a low-income day care center.
