The Future
By Chase S.
We say goodbye to Bryant, the home of the hawks,
Where we started as eggs,
Enclosed and hidden away from the world around us.
Now we are ready
Ready to soar onward into the future.
We will meet people
See places we’ve never seen before as we age like a priceless wine.
We’ll face problems
Yet learn to overcome some to0.
We’ll put the past behind us and work hard to make our dreams come true.
Each of us will choose the path we’ll take,
Like playful dolphins choosing which waves to leap.
As some of us train to become soccer phenomenons,
While others inventors, doctors, or teachers
Just to name a few.
Though we will always remember Bryant as our launch pad,
Blasting us into the future.
Bryant, the home of the hawks. |

Art Wizards presents the North Seattle Summer Art Program. It’s a chance for every child to develop their drawing skills, and fill summer hours with beautiful artwork. Whether it’s Pikachu and Wall-E or still life and landscape, we teach our students how to see as artists do, and we show them exactly what and how to practice so their progress continues. We’ll show young artists the best ways to use pens, pencils, chalk and oil pastels and watercolor. You can see some of our students’ work in the galleries at artwizards.org .

Thank you to everyone who helped make Bryant’s first year of organized community service work a smashing success! Our school logged more than 20 hours and 200 volunteers who helped clean parks and beaches, make Christmas cards with the elderly, collect goods for animals, plant trees, make sandwiches, distribute food, and other activities.
The Community Service Committee would like to thank your son or daughter for their service work this year. We will send them a certificate thanking them for their participation if you email the name, grade and teacher of your child(ren) to Kimble Snyder: "> .
Our committee will meet again early next year, and we’d love to have your involvement. Please consider joining the committee, or organizing an event, and please let us know if you can think of an activity that is appropriate for our school community.
A special thank you to: Donna Tauscheck, Heidi Bewell, Jennifer Calkins, Jennifer Sayrs, Jennifer Walker, Julie Black, Katie Becker, Kimberly and Marc Cohen, Lee Kellogg, Lise Glaser, Marcie Hinthorne, Terrie McCoy, Neil and Polly Halpern, Paige Eagle, Bill Sherman, Corinne Ross, Anne King, Sam McCracken, Terrie McCoy, Tim Mitchell, and Torrey Carls.

Blast into Summer Reading!
 Summer is a great time to read and for this last post I have collected a number of links to reading lists. I think you’ll find something for everyone! In addition, check out some of the Summer Reading Programs. It's always fun to have a little encouragement and incentive.
So relax, kick back with a lemonade, and read, read read!

Bryant fifth graders in room 313 and I would like to thank the kids and adults in the Bryant community for supporting this year’s book drive, “Bookanoompaloompa!” The drive raised nearly 2,000 new books. The books will be donated to local non-profit, Page Ahead which will distribute them to kids in need.
Special recognition goes to Ms. Confer’s class who brought in 274 books. Honorable mention goes to Mr. Arango’s class (262) and Ms. Nguyen’s (175). We would also like to thank Sam McCracken for holding a book fair during the second week of the drive. Thank you, Bryant students, parents and teachers, for supporting this year’s drive! |

Everybody needs a Bryant Buddy!
Would you like to become a Bryant Buddy to an incoming kindergartner and their family? Each year we match up "veteran" families with incoming kindergarten families. We also do the same for new families who transfer during the school year. This is a great way to welcome a new family to our community and to answer any questions they may have. If this is something that interests you, please contact the Bryant Buddies Chair, Sarah Hedges.

Calling All Library Books! |
|
|
|
Written by Susan Finnegan
|
|
Now’s the time to search under the beds, in your bookshelves, and between the couch cushions. All library books are due back to the library by Friday, June 4th. If a student needs a book for a class project, the teacher will let me know. The library does not charge fines for overdue books; however, if a book is lost, the replacement cost should be paid. Students will continue to have library during the final two weeks of school. Are you wondering which books your student has checked out? A student’s currently checked out library books are now listed on his/her Source page. After logging in with your Source account, click the Libraries icon. A list of the books checked out will display. You can access the Source login page at: https://source.seattleschools.org If you don’t have a current login, the login page will walk you through the process for obtaining a username and password from Seattle Public Schools. |
