Our 2019 auction will be open all week and close at 10 p.m. on Monday, March 11. That gives you plenty of time to check out all of our offerings and bid, bid, bid. Remember, it’s all in support of Bryant’s PTSA.
So get in there and have some fun! You can also share this link with your friends and family, even if they’re not Bryant families. Everyone is welcome to participate!
Thursday, December 13
1:15pm Assembly • 5:30pm Open House
On December 13 we’ll ring in our Bry-Centennial, starting with an all-school assembly for our students and families. Come hear stories from former students and teachers, learn more about our namesake, and take in presentations from our current students.
Come back in the evening to celebrate with our extended community, including district and city officials, our neighbors, and long-time friends of Bryant. We’ll have light snacks and entertainment from Bryant years past.
Bry-Centennial Annual Campaign reaches 92% participation and we exceeded our goal of $150,000 in support of our kids!
Because of you, Bryant students will benefit from growth and enrichment activities, services and support. Because of you, Bryant students will participate in activities like art and music in classrooms, expanding education beyond math, science and reading. Because of you, teachers will receive extra support through classroom supplies, academic specialists and tutors. Because of you, kids will get the early intervention necessary and allow classroom teachers to focus on the class and provide each student the attention needed to succeed in school. Read more
Don’t miss this opportunity for your kids to create a collage, write a story or poem, paint or draw a picture, choreograph a dance, take a photograph, create a computer-generated image – almost anything that the theme, “Heroes Around Me,” inspires them to think up.

Make sure to help your kids understand the requirements for each category and for packaging and labeling their entries.
Theme: “Heroes Around Me”
Submissions: place in box in Bryant Library with completed entry form.
Deadline: Monday, November 5th.

Friday, October 19
Doors open at 6pm, Movie starts at 6:30pm
Movie is FREE, but bring cash for concessions!
All Bryant families are invited to join us for a movie screening in the Bryant cafeteria. We can’t post the name of the movie online, but let’s just say you’ll be in the company of monsters! Bring a clean blanket for kids to sit on the floor, and dress up as your cuddliest monster (if you want!). We’ll have hot dogs, popcorn, baked goods and candy for sale to support next year’s 5th Grade Islandwood experience. Kids do need an adult to attend with them. There will also be a door prize drawing, courtesy of the Annual Campaign.
VOLUNTEERS:
Fourth graders and parents are encouraged to sign up for bringing goodies and working shifts the night of the movie. Check out the Sign Up Genius!

Because of your prompt payment, we have collected all the fees needed to give our kids and teachers the learning supplies for the school year.
We purchased over $21,000 in supplies for the start of the school year and will purchase an additional $7,000 over the next 10 months. With the amazing efforts of volunteers who came in before the start of school, we delivered more than 5 pallets of supplies to homeroom classrooms and specialty rooms like the library, gym, and music.
You helped purchase 12,182 pencils, 3,492 glue sticks, 1,220 pink erasers, 940 white board markers, 585 boxes of Kleenex, 572 sharpies and so much more for our kids.
You also raised $3,900 for a Seattle school in need. The school, without a PTSA, has a substantial free and reduced lunch population of 73% and is grateful for this unexpected help. Once they receive the donation and have the opportunity to put it to good use, we will send out an update on how you helped this school and its kids to have a better school year. You still have an opportunity to donate, please visit our payment website to support Seattle students in need.
Thursday, September 27
Schedule:
Parents and guardians, this is your opportunity to meet with their kids’ teachers and get an overview of the curriculum for the year. Some grade levels will present as a team this night, discussing their combined goals. K-4th Grade Curriculum night 2018 is on Thursday, Sept 27. We’ll have a map available at the entrance to help you find your way to your classrooms.
Child care available starting at 6pm.
This is an parent/guardian-only event. If you need child care, LASER will be open starting at 6pm for $15/child (over 5 years old). You don’t need to be currently enrolled in LASER to use this service. Sign up for Curriculum Night care now.
Family Arts Night is a favorite event at Bryant: each April, students get to showcase their skills in a series of art projects including a T-shirt screen-printing station where students can screen the event logo on their own T-shirt. We are looking for 2 co-leaders for this event as well. Volunteers helping to organize these events will have the support and mentorship of the Bryant Arts Committee.
Please contact Kristin Zwiers with your interest!
