PTSA General Membership Meeting – Join us on March 10th from 7:00–9:00pm!

Join us on March 10th from 7:00–9:00pm for our General PTSA Meeting! The evening will begin with a special guest speaker, followed by our regular PTSA meeting. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the important role the PTSA plays in supporting our school and strengthening our community.

We are honored to welcome Mash Makhlyagina as a special guest speaker. Mash will present, “The Year is 2026 and Our Children (and We) Are More Anxious Than Ever.” Together, we’ll explore how anxiety shows up throughout the school day—for students and adults alike — and discuss practical, real-world strategies to navigate it as a home-to-school team. This will be an hour of honest, non-therapy “real talk” focused on what families and educators can do before, during, and after school to better support students.

Mash has supported families nationwide in navigating education across a wide range of backgrounds, support needs, and family dynamics. They are a proud immigrant and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) kid turned ESOL teacher with a passion for empowering families who identify as multi-disabled. Mash is passionate about empowering families and building strong home-to-school partnerships.

This conversation is intended for adults, so please leave the kids at home. Thanks so much and hope to see you there!

Help Us Grow the Bryant Auction Fun

If you’ve scrolled through past auctions and thought, “I don’t see anything I would bid on,” that’s exactly why we need you. The auction gets better — and more fun — when a diverse mix of families bring ideas that reflect their own interests. Maybe that’s hosting a kids‑vs‑parents soccer game, a cooking class featuring a favorite family dish or a calligraphy workshop.

Grab a friend, brainstorm something you’d genuinely enjoy doing, and jump in. Every new idea helps more families feel welcome — and helps build the kind of Bryant village we want our kids to grow up in.

Bryant’s 4th Grade Readers Headed to City Semi-Finals!

Congratulations to Bryant’s 4th grade Reader Defeaters for advancing to the city semi-finals later this month! We are so proud of their hard work, teamwork, and dedication to reading.

All of our Bryant teams did an outstanding job in this exciting challenge. Your enthusiasm and effort truly showed—way to represent Bryant!

A special thank you to Ms. Yost and the SPS Library for organizing such a fun and engaging competition that celebrates the joy of reading. We can’t wait to cheer on the Reader Defeaters at the semi-finals—go Bryant

Share Something Simple, Fun, or Community‑Building

Not all auction donations need to be big or expensive — some of the most meaningful items come from simple, shared experiences. Consider offering something that’s low‑cost but high‑joy: a homemade dessert of the month, a guided neighborhood nature walk, a craft session, a board‑game afternoon, a backyard campfire, a bike‑repair lesson, a gardening tutorial, or a favorite family recipe with ingredients included.

These community‑centered offerings are always popular and make the auction accessible to everyone. Donate here or email bryantonlineauction@gmail.com by March 15.
