Save the Date - Roaring 20's Jubilee

Last Updated on Sunday, 22 January 2012 19:33 Written by Jubilee Friday, 06 January 2012 16:41

Mark Your Calendar for the Roaring 20’s Jubilee

Saturday, March 24, 2012, 7pm

Kaspars Special Events & Catering, Tickets are $43

The Roaring Twenties… jazz music blossomed, the flapper redefined womanhood, the Charleston was the dance of choice and Art Deco peaked. The era was characterized by unprecedented industrial growth, accelerated consumer demand and aspirations, and discoveries of far-reaching importance: cars, moving pictures and radio. “Intoxicating liquors” were decreed illegal and prohibition regulated the decade, creating a whole new underworld the likes of which the parents of Bryant have never seen.

Join us on March 24, 2012 to experience the era of the Speak Easy and all the Roaring 20’s has to offer while celebrating the Bryant Community.  All proceeds from the Jubilee will go to support our exceptional Tutoring Program that benefits every child at Bryant!

Here is how you can get involved:

Promote your business and support the Bryant community all at the same time! Be a Sponsor of 2012 Bryant Elementary Roaring 20’s Jubilee!

Sponsorship options include...

The Bootlegger - $1000

Jubilee Overall Sponsor – Your logo and sponsor status will be on all marketing materials. Slide Show, banner, material and webpage.

Speak Easy Sponsor – $250

Finding Kind
A documentary about growing up as girls, just how mean they can be to each other and what they can do to be kind instead

DATE: January 31,2012

TIME: 7:00 pm

LOCATION: Roosevelt Auditorium (see attached link)

Purchase tickets in advance at http://assumptionfk.eventbrite.com/

for $11.54 each ($10 per ticket plus small fee). There will be a very limited number of tickets available at the door for $15 each.

This is a movie for parents (and girls in 5th grade or higher).  It explores the universal truths about growing up as girls and the bullying that occurs between girls. Two young female filmmakers set out on a cross-country journey interviewing women and girls about their lives. They find among all of the unique stories, as well as interviews with experts in fields of psychology and education, some universal truths about growing up as girls. This experience has led them to create the Kind Campaign to seek to find a common ground of kindness and mutual respect. Go to www.findingkind.com to view the trailer and learn more about the movie.

Childcare will not be provided.

New Bryant School and PTSA websites

Last Updated on Monday, 29 August 2011 13:25 Written by Laura Marcial Monday, 29 August 2011 13:09

As of now, the Seattle School District will be hosting the official websites for all the schools in the district, assigning a site to each school.

What does that mean for us? Bryant Elementary will now have two websites, with different functions:

1. New Website (hosted by the school district): http://bryantes.seattleschools.org/

• This site will have a lot of new functionality. For example, each teacher will have class page(s) with information and resources for the students in their classroom. It will also allow you to overlay calendars of the district, school, classroom, and other activities.
• To take full advantage of this website, and access information relevant to your child(ren) you need to be registered with THE SOURCE. 
• To register, please go to:https://source.seattleschools.org/pub/login/index.html

2. Old Website: http://bryantschool.org

•  This website will now host mostly PTSA related information
•  It will include information such as:
  • Who is who on the PTSA board and committees
  • Fundraising
  • Links to Amazon and escrip
  • Some other PTSA information (open volunteer positions, PTSA organized events, etc).
    

Please note:

Not all the functionality in the new http://bryantes.seattleschools.org has been implemented. We expect everything to be fully functional during the first week of classes. Some of the content that needs to migrate to the new website is still on the old http://bryantschool.org website. We expect to do most of the migration in the next few weeks. If you have questions, or run into problems, please e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  We will also post links to help and relevant documents on the new website, as information from the district becomes available.

Thank you for your patience, and welcome back!

Dear Parents and Guardians:

We are in the process of a transition from this website, maintained by the Bryant PTSA, to a new one offered by Seattle Public Schools.  We are working hard to update information in both places for important material related to the start of school.  We hope to cut over to the new site very soon but appreciate your patience as we work through this transition.  If you have questions about materials on this site which you think may be out of date, please check back frequently and/or send us a message at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for your patience.
