A Message from Dr. Hilton

Dear Bradfield Families,

That's a wrap for Reading Rodeo. What a fantastic week it has been! One of the sweetest moments on Friday was hearing our students cheer for their friends at the celebration. 💙 Hearing their excitement and pride for one another made my heart smile. A special thank you to Steve Noviello for emceeing our celebration. A huge THANK YOU to Rachel Huff, Elizabeth Perlman, and Amy Redleaf for all the time, energy, and heart you poured into making this event so amazing! It was out of this world!

Please enjoy some of these fun pictures from Broncoland this week, and I will see you all on the front steps on Monday.

3rd Grade - TAG - Dr. Miranne, a veterinarian from Vickery Place Animal Hospital, shared the categories of vertebrates and how their heart chambers and systems differed from ours.

Kindly,

Dr. Aimee Hilton
