Eagle Express - February 2, 2024


Greetings Braddock Families,

We hope this message finds you well. We have many exciting events happening in February and we hope you will join us!

One of the NEWer events we are doing is a PTA fundraiser. Each student/family can create an account and request that friends and family members donate to our PTA. All donations will go to our student's field trips and EAGLE FEST!

All students, regardless of if they donate or not will participate in our DANCE PARTY on February 23rd.

Please help us reach our goal of $5,000!
