Eagle Express - May 17, 2024


Greetings, Braddock Families!

 

Hope this message finds you well. 

SOL's have arrived and we are more than proud to announce that our eagles' hard work during these past few weeks has shown greatly. However, they're still not done yet. Science SOL's will be happening next week while Make Ups and Retakes will be occurring as well, so do keep an eye out for your children and make sure they get the needed rest for their final SOL's.

 

With Warmest Regards, 

Braddock Staff
