Congratulations to our 2025-2026 boys and girls basketball for finishing the season strong! Our amazing coaches finished the last game on Wednesday with a win for both boys and girls! We want to especially thank Coach Jeff, Vinci, Lilian for leading our basketball team. Our players have worked and learned a lot about teamwork and grit. Shoutout to all our Blazer fans for coming out to support us by selling snacks, score keeping, and cheering the team on! Next up, SOCCER!

Be kind, be safe, be responsible. Be your blazer best!

Innovation for kinder have been happening this week! Our kinder learned how to use chompsaws and mixed media to create some amazing things!

The month of February is Black History Month! Every morning we start the day with morning announcements and focus on one influential black person. Students also learn important facts about the history and culture in their classrooms.

Thanks to PTO sponsorship and Parent Ina, students got an incredible local black author to present at an assembly. His name is Robert Liu-Trujillo https://work.robdontstop.com/ . Our students got to ask questions and learn about how ideas turn into books. We have a few more black authors in the next few weeks to continue the celebration of Black History Month.

Small group intervention is a vital part of student success. Our teachers work together to ensure all students get the intervention that is needed. We have Ms. Hall, TK teacher, and Ms. Gobel, literacy coach working on science of reading activities.

Our teachers also value the opportunity to mix classes. When mixing students from different classes, it helps students develop leadership and communication skills. Coach Phy and Coach Odor partner teaching two classes about how to work together in a game. Ms. Harada helping two students in a buddy class activity with 5th and 2nd grade.

Ramadan Mubarak! Special thanks to Amna and Deepa, as well as parent volunteers, and everyone for being flexible due to the weather to make these events successful!

Family Reading Night was a huge success. Students came to read, participate in literacy activities and listen to read alouds! Families were able to take books home to read! Please continue to support reading by joining Read Across America next week. We will have the book fair open and fun spirit days!

As we continue to grow our PBIS efforts this year, we are looking to add parent involvement to our PBIS team! On the third Wednesday of each month our team meets to discuss plans for PBIS at Bringhurst. We would need parent input for the first 15-20 minutes of each meeting (1:45 - 2:00pm). We would share what issues we are seeing on campus and have you brainstorm with the team on how to address these needs at school. Please let us know if you're interested!

Help us remind students of these protocols to better prepare for unpredictable weather!
