These girls had the best time in Mrs. Hooper's Gingerbread House Masterclass, which they won in the PTO's Fall Fest Silent Auction. Mrs. Hooper baked her from-scratch gingerbread pieces and taught the girls how to construct them. The houses were made entirely with edible materials! Students had fun letting their creativity shine, listening to holiday music, and snacking on way too much sugar! 🍭🍬🎄 #timetoshine✨ #beBryant💙

These 2 young ladies were “Principals for the morning” with Mrs. Carter. They monitored breakfast duty, conducted classroom walkthroughs, and recorded the Wildcat Live. But the best part was talking on Mrs. Carter’s walkie talkie & jingling her keys! 😻 #timetoshine✨ #beBryant💙

We would like to extend a huge thank you to all the families who shopped at our Book Fair last week and donated money during Coin Wars! Your generosity in allowing students to shop, attending our family night, and volunteering has made a huge impact. During Coin Wars, we raised almost $900, which was used to purchase books for students and classrooms, and the profits from the fair help us fill our school library with resources that not only support student learning but also foster a lifelong love of reading. 📖🥰 And this Friday, our Wildcats will get to see the final showdown in our Reindeer Games challenge! Rudolph & Prancer may have won Coin Wars, but that was only game 1. Dasher & Blitzen are ready to finish strong and bring home the gold!! 🦌🥇 #timetoshine ⭐ #bebryant 💙
