Last Call for Bryant Blast Volunteers

Hi Bryant families,

The Bryant Blast is almost here—and we need YOUR help to make the magic happen! This beloved event is 100% volunteer-powered, and right now, we don’t have enough volunteers to keep everything running smoothly.

👉 Here’s the bottom line:
If we don’t fill more volunteer spots soon, some of the games and activities won’t be able to open, which means less fun for the kids.

Every family pitching in for just 30 minutes makes a HUGE difference in creating a fun, safe, and joyful experience for everyone.

🙋 Can you lend a hand? Whether it’s helping with a game booth, selling tickets, or keeping the bounce house line moving – it’s quick, easy, and fun.

Got a 4th or 5th grader? They’re welcome (and encouraged!) to volunteer too! Just sign them up with a parent to co-pilot.

🎂 And don’t forget the Cake Walk! We still need more cakes and cupcakes – homemade or store-bought, all are welcome.

Here’s how you can help:

Thank you for being part of what makes Bryant so special. Let’s keep the Blast magical for every kid, sign up today!

Cheers,
The Bryant Blast Volunteer Team

The Writers’ Celebration – May 22, 2025!

The Writers’ Celebration – May 22, 2025!

The Bryant PTSA is thrilled to present the Writers’ Celebration on Wednesday, May 22—a beloved event that honors the creative voices of all our students.

What is the Writers’ Celebration?
Each student will have the chance to share an original piece of writing—such as a story, poem, or book—with their peers in small, multi-age groups during the school day. This is one of the few opportunities where all grade levels come together, and it’s always a heartwarming scene as older students support and cheer on the younger ones.

Students work hard on their writing and take great pride in presenting their work. It’s truly a celebration of creativity, effort, and community!

Want to help?
We need SPS-approved volunteers to lead a reading group and provide event support!  Sign up here by May 14.  Be sure to indicate if you’d like your child(ren) to be in your group.  Unfortunately, due to space constraints, we won’

Bryant Online Auction Begins This Friday, 3/28 at 8AM!

Mark your calendars for the Bryant Online Auction starting on Friday, March 28th at 8AM and ending on Friday, April 4th at 8PM. 

Let’s open up those wallets, warm up those credit cards, and get ready to support our favorite students, teachers, staff and school. And while it’s always a thrill to catch a deal, let’s remember who we’re doing this for. Let’s be gracious to our generous donors; let’s make sure we’re giving what they are worth (or more!). But most importantly, let’s kindly rub it in our neighbor’s faces that we beat them as they were trying to win a three night stay in a retro Airstream or the Kenmore air flight.

Check out some of the other great offerings in our online auction this year:

  • Wine and Snack Tasting Party for 8 from Ebb & Co.
  • Romantic Dinner for 2 at Staple & Fancy
  • Weeklong Summer Camps and Month Long Kids’ Classes
  • and much more!

Happy bidding, Bryant families! And don’t forget to raise your virtual paddle!
