Finally, how is it that the last week of school is already here? It seems like yesterday we were anxiously awaiting the new school year to make a difference in the lives of each Bronco. I am so proud of the work our teachers, staff members, and students performed this year.
As I wrap up my second year, I am still honored to partner with the amazing staff, students, and parents at Bradfield. It is such a special place and truly like no other. I am blessed to work alongside every one of you.
I would like to say a special thank you to the following volunteers for making this year phenomenal!
PTA President, Kamela Aboussie, for leading the charge this school year. Not only did she take the lead on all our traditional Bradfield events, but she also spearheaded the BradFIELD dedication, Centennial Celebration, and the Learning Garden dedication to name a few. She has given it her all, and words are not sufficient to convey my deepest gratitude. The love, commitment, and attention to detail were evident in every event. Kamela always put our staff, students, and families first as she led the charge. She is a true advocate for the Bradfield community. No one, except maybe her family, will ever know how much time she dedicated this past year. She has definitely made an amazing mark on Bradfield that will last for decades to come. Thank you, Kam, for an incredible, memorable year, and job well done!
Bradfield Dads Club President, Jake Francis, for being such an advocate and supporter for the students and staff. No matter the request, Jake, along with a team of Dads, was there at a moment's notice to lend a helping hand. Thank you, Jake, for having such a positive attitude as you volunteered for carpool, cafeteria, and tunnel duty. Thank you, Jake!
Communication Chair, Katie Patterson, for dedicating her late nights and weekends to ensure The Blaze went out to keep our families in the know. Thank you, Katie, for your patience, as you waited on my message each week!
Bradfield Dads Club Carpool Chairs, Dayton Macatee and Jake Young, for organizing weekly shifts and encouraging Dads to help keep our precious gems safe. Rain or shine, each day our Dads showed up, with a smile on their faces to help carpool run safe and efficiently. Thank you, Dayton, Jake, and Bradfield Dads!
Bradfield PTA Exec, PTA Chairs, Bradfield Dads Club Exec, BDC Chairs, and the many parents who volunteered their time and offered their support to help us make it through a memorable year! The staff and I are forever thankful we have the opportunity to be a part of the Bradfield community!
As I wrap up, I want to wish the following Bradfield family members all the best of luck in their new adventures.
Allison Barnes, 4th-grade teacher, as she retires from education and begins a new adventure. Mrs. Barnes has influenced the lives of Broncos for twenty-two years, and she will be missed. Thank you, Allison, for your dedication, love, and encouragement you have given to our Broncos.
Katie Keffer, Kindergarten teacher, as she retires from education and moves to Houston to be near her grandchildren. Katie has also dedicated and enriched the lives of our Broncos for twenty-two years. Thank you, Katie, for your kind heart, positivity, and high standards. We will miss your steady presence and mentorship.
Leticia Parker, Spanish Teacher, as she retires from education and starts a new journey. Mrs. Parker dedicated 41 years of her life to educating children. For the last 8 years, she has enriched our Broncos with the love of the Spanish language. Thank you, Senora Parker, for your love and dedication you have given to our Broncos!
Daisy French, 4th grade teacher, as she continues her path in teaching children. Next year, she will be teaching 1st grade at The Episcopal School of Dallas. Ms. French has been a Bronco for two years, and this decision was a difficult one. She has made an enduring impact on generations of young minds, and we are thankful for the time she spent with all of our Broncos.
Caroline Gosnell, Kindergarten Teacher, has decided take a break from education and will be pursuing a new chapter outside of the classroom. Mrs. Gosnell has instilled confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning with her students, and we are grateful for her time at Bradfield. Thank you, Caroline, for your warmth and kindness that you gave to our students every day.
Yessy Flores, instructional aide, as she pursues her teaching career in Richardson ISD. She has supported numerous students and teachers over the last two years and has done so with compassion, consistency, and grace. Yessy, we wish you all the best!
Judah Seamon, instructional assistant, as he begins his work on his master’s degree at SMU. Judah supported students and teachers, and jumped in whenever he was needed. His eagerness and enthusiasm to help, learn, and teach will take him a long way in the years to come.
Thank you, all, for your dedication to the Bradfield community over the years. You have played an instrumental role in the lives of our Broncos and our staff. You will forever be in our hearts, and your laughter and positivity will permeate through these walls for years to come!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend, and I will see you all tomorrow morning.
