🎉 Field Day Needs Two Volunteer Leads!

We’re looking for two volunteers to help lead this year’s Bryant Field Day in June. Last year’s amazing chairs have everything organized and ready to hand off, so you won’t be starting from scratch. It’s a fun, high‑energy role — and even better when you grab a friend and do it together. If you’re interested or want to learn more, reach out to volunteer@bryantschool.org and we’ll get you connected! 

The Auction Is Coming!

The Bryant Online Auction is happening March 27–April 3, 2026, and procurement is officially underway!

Last year’s auction saw strong participation from our community, and the funds raised supported arts enrichment, tutors, field trips, science fairs, math enrichment, and more. If you have a business connection or an idea for a donation, reach out at bryantonlineauction@gmail.com or submit directly at https://tinyurl.com/2026BryantAuction. Donations requested by March 15.

Chipotle Fundraiser for IslandWood – Wed. Jan. 14

Skip the cooking and support our 4th graders!

From 4–8pm on 1/14Chipotle at University Village will donate a portion of sales to help fund IslandWood—but only if you show the paper flyer (will be sent home in kidmail) or use code 6GAQ7AE for digital orders.

It’s cold, it’s dark, and you’re busy—let Chipotle handle dinner while you help us raise money for outdoor education. Share the flyer or code with friends and neighbors—every burrito counts!

Tour Guides Needed – Bryant Open House

We need 10–12 parent volunteers to help lead tours during Bryant’s Open House for Prospective Families on Thursday, January 15, from 6:00–7:30 p.m.

We would greatly appreciate volunteers who are able to arrive at 5:30 p.m. to assist with check-in and welcoming guests, and stay until approximately 7:35 p.m. That said, if you’re unable to commit to the full time, we would still love your help in any capacity.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Christy Hunt or Jamie Polin.

Thank you so much for your continued support of our school community!

Student Hunger Service Project 2026

The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.
Nearly one-third of Seattle Public School students receive Free-and-Reduced Price Meals while they’re at school. But on the weekends and school breaks, students need extra assistance to assure that hunger isn’t an obstacle to learning during the week. Continuing Bryant’s partnership with the Hunger Intervention Program non-profit, we need your help to collect food for Healthy HIP Packs and then attend a grade level packing party where the whole family is invited to help assemble meal packs.
Contact Kate Sortun for information or to help.

Donations Requested for Sister School Over Winter Break

A big thank you for the generosity of donations to buy grocery gift cards for our sister school before Thanksgiving break. We exceeded our goal! Can we do it again in just one week? 

Help The Bryant PTSA Family Support Program meet our goal of purchasing 100 $25 grocery gift cards to be given out before kids are home for TWO weeks over winter break without the meals they rely on daily when they are in school.

Our sister school is a Title 1 elementary school in the Seattle public school district in which more than 80% of current students are from low-income families. The deadline for this donation drive is tomorrow 12/17.  Donate here.

Thank you for those who have it in their budget and heart to contribute!
