As we celebrate Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible dedication and hard work of the entire Braddock school team.

We know firsthand how deeply our staff members care for our students and how tirelessly they work to create engaging and supportive learning environments. Each day, our staff members go above and beyond to nurture each child's growth, both academically and personally. From crafting engaging lessons to providing individualized support, your child's teacher invests countless hours in their success.

Our dedicated staff members in various roles also play a vital part in making Braddock a wonderful place for our children to learn and thrive. Their contributions often go unseen but are deeply appreciated.

This week offers a special opportunity to show our gratitude for their commitment. We encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher(s) and other staff members to express your appreciation for all that they do. A simple thank you can mean the world!

Thank you, Braddock teachers and staff, for your passion, your dedication, and your unwavering commitment to our students. We are truly fortunate to have you!

 

Sincerely,

Keesha Jackson-Muir, Principal

Highlights from the Week

Grades 3–5 Kick Off SOL Season with a Pep Rally!


 

Our students in grades 3–5 started the SOL season on a high note with an energetic pep rally! They celebrated their hard work with singing, dancing, and lots of fun—including a chance to silly string some of their teachers! Best of luck to all our Eagles taking the Reading SOL this week—go show what you know!

Txalaparta Club Brings Basque Culture to Life!

The Txalaparta Club offers students a fun and unique way to explore the music and rhythms of the Basque culture. On their final day, club members took the instrument outdoors to enjoy playing exercises and games in the fresh air—just like it’s done in the Basque Country! The Txalaparta Club is open to all BES 4th and 5th graders.
