The Writers’ Celebration is coming up on Thursday, May 21st, and we’re excited to announce the annual bookmark design contest. We’re inviting all Bryant students to get creative and design a bookmark inspired by a book or anything that celebrates the joy of reading! Two lucky winners from each grade will have their designs printed and handed out at the Writers’ Celebration! Please submit your book entry to your teacher by Friday May 8th.

Let’s share with love and show the teachers and staff at our sister school that they are appreciated during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Our sister school is a Title 1 elementary school in the Seattle school district in which more than 80% of students are from low-income families. Just like at Bryant, the teachers and staff at our sister school are working hard year round to provide a safe and fun learning environment for their students. They deserve to be celebrated!
We are organizing snacks & drinks for our sister school to put out during Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week. This is our third year doing this and each time it is hugely appreciated!
To contribute, please make a purchase from this Amazon list and choose “sister school coordinator” for the shipping address.
Thank you for support and generosity!
Nina Mettler, PTSA Family Support Program chair

We’re looking for new volunteers to join the PTSA Board for the 2026–27 school year. We have some board members returning and space for new voices. It’s a great way to contribute, connect with other parents, and support the school in a hands‑on way.
Roles vary in focus and time commitment:
Bryant’s sense of connection comes from families getting involved and supporting the school community. If you’ve ever considered getting involved, this is a great time to start.
To learn more, reach out to volunteer@bryantschool.org.
Get ready to lace up your sneakers and join us for an exciting season of fun, fitness, and running!

What to Expect: Each week, runners will meet with parent volunteers and coaches to stretch, play running games, and run laps at their own pace. We’ll meet at the track and field behind the Bryant school playground every Friday from 2:25–3:00 PM, starting April 24 and running through May 29 (excluding Memorial Day weekend).
