Help Keep the Bryant Play Alive—Lead Volunteers Needed

Lily Chan

The Bryant Play is a cherished tradition that fosters creativity, teamwork, and lasting memories for our students. Next year’s 4th and 5th graders are eager to participate, but we need parent leads to make it happen!

We’re looking for 1-3 volunteers to step up and take on the organizing role. You don’t need prior experience—this is a team effort with plenty of support available, including materials and insights from past productions.

Without committed leads before summer break, the play will not be able to move forward. If you’re interested or want to learn more, reach out to Caroline Stanford (this year’s Play Lead Producer) at caroline.stanford@outlook.com. 

Let’s work together to keep this beloved tradition going for our kids!
