BRINTON BITS

Dear Brinton Families: The end of the school year is rapidly approaching!

But before we break for summer vacation, there are many events and as-semblies to help us close the year. Be sure to check the calendar on page 6 so that you don’t miss a single celebration!

As the year closes and the weather gets hotter the parking lot becomes more hectic. Please remember that we require students to exit and load into vehicles on the curb side only and to not Jay Walk through the drop off lanes…..please be a good role model for our students. I understand that this can be an inconvenience but the safety of students is our goal!

Finally, thank you for a wonderful year here at Brinton. It is a pleasure to help educate your children.

Have a safe and wonderful summer. See you in August! Sincerely, Doreen Brindley

PATIENCE

Got Music? SUPPORTING OUR MUSICAL TALENTS

We hope that you were able to attend our Band and Orchestra concerts this year. More than 100 students participate in Band and Orchestra every year, not to mention that everyone gets to be in music with Mrs. Smith. This year we also got to showcase our talented students in the School play and the Spring into Reading Night. We are looking forward to all of the talent that will be seen at our Talent Show as well.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to every thing.” PLATO

Report cards will be sent home with students the last day of school, however, class
