Skip the cooking and support our 4th graders!
From 4–8pm on 1/14, Chipotle 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!
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!

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!
Please let our wonderful Bryant staff & teachers know how much we appreciate them by sending them off to winter vacation with a box of delicious sweets!
Sign up here to make or buy cookies (2 dozen) and drop off the morning of Thursday, Dec. 18th.
Caitlin & Amanda will be in the front entrance of the school between 7:30-8:15 to accept your cookies. They will then set up a cookie exchange in the teachers’ lounge and the teachers/staff can pick out their own special assortment.
Thanks for your sweet support!
It is with both gratitude and a heavy heart that we share a fond farewell to Mr. Julio, our beloved Evening Custodial Engineer. Mr. Julio has been a valued member of the Bryant and Eckstein communities for many years and has worked at Eckstein Middle for more than 20 years, always taking great pride in caring for and securing our school community.
Mr. Julio has been out on medical leave for some time and will remain on leave until his retirement. While we will miss seeing him in our halls each day, we are deeply thankful for his kindness, and commitment to our schools. He has made a lasting impact on our community, and we will miss him dearly.
We invite families to help us celebrate Mr. Julio by having your child create a card, note, or small “token of appreciation” to share with him. These will be collected and presented when he attends our staff celebration on Wednesday, December 18th.

• Loan a folding table (to help organize items at the Bryant basketball courts)
• Volunteer at the event (sorting items, recycling packaging, writing affirmative notes, and assembling kits)
• Deliver items to the Lake City encampment (can be very powerful for your child to see firsthand)
Items Needed: new socks, new gloves, snacks, lip balm, lotion, nail clippers, soap, travel toiletries, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, band-aids, feminine products, hand warmers.
