Principal's Message<\/h2><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
\n
We started the first two weeks of 2026 full of school excitement. We dove right into an assembly the first thing to remind all of us what it is like to be in school again. We also had two basketball games, many field trips, and a lot of learning happening in classrooms! <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
As we gear up for a three day weekend, we hope that we remember to continue to educate our amazing Blazers of Martin Luther King Junior's important work. Enjoy the three-day weekend and stay safe! <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Be kind, be safe, be responsible. Be your blazer best!<\/div>\n

    PBIS Parent Volunteers Needed<\/strong><\/div>\n
    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!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
