Greetings, Braddock Families!
Hope this message finds you and your family members well.
Next week is Braddock ES's Staff Appreication Week! The Admin Team and the PTA have put together a week of celebration for our staff. We would love if you and your child took a moment to write a note of appreciation for your child's teacher or favorite staff member. This can be sent via email, Talking Points, or the old fashion paper and pencil.
REMINDER: This coming Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. the Braddock PTA is hosting EAGLE FEST!!
If you purchased a wristband as a pre-order you can arrive at the blacktop at 10:00 a.m. to pick it up. Please have your child's name and grade ready.
If you did not purchase a pre-order wristband you can buy one at the door for $25 each. Any child that plans to participate will need a wristband (as young as 2 years old).
We hope to see you there!
<3 Braddock Staff
