Now that the weather is starting to turn reliably warmer and dryer, it’s the perfect time to think about an end-of-the-year party for your families.

The Bryant PTSA is excited to be offering grants for you to hold an event for families in your grade level. Bryant PTSA will grant up to $500 to each grade level to build engagement. The grant is intended to help you meet and form connections with each other, in the hopes that stronger social relationships will translate to a stronger school community for our children.

Some ideas for FUN ways to spend your grant:

• Hold a potluck cookout at a local park
• Host a game night at a community center or at school
• Host a movie night with free concessions (the PTSA has a movie license that would cover this!)
• Put on a talent show
• Host a summer-time event to get families together outside of the school-year

Bryant’s 4th and 5th graders have been memorizing, singing, lighting, set-painting, rehearsing, and creating a magical musical for our community to enjoy! Tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased at the door on the night of the play or on the playground after school March 21-22. 
Play times are:

• Thursday, March 21 at 7pm
• Friday, March 22 at 7pm
• Saturday, March 23 at 2pm or 7pm

Baked goods will be offered for sale before the show and at intermission; bring cash if you want to purchase delicious treats.

We look forward to seeing you at the play!

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.
