As we conclude the 3rd grading period on Friday, March 21, reflect on your efforts, celebrate your successes, and learn from the challenges you faced. Remember, every step you take is part of your learning journey, and it's important to recognize and appreciate your progress. The work and effort you put forth now will put you in the best position to be successful moving forward.
As we transition into the next grading period, I encourage you to set new goals and continue striving for excellence. Stay curious, keep asking questions, and support one another.

Feeling overwhelmed...
Slowing down our breathing and taking deep breaths is one of the most powerful tools we have for calming down. It helps our muscles relax and it helps to turn back on the parts of the brain that power down when we get upset. This, in turn, allows us to express ourselves better and to make better decisions.

In recognition of National Bullying Prevention Month we encourage you to take a moment to think about how you can make a difference in our school. According to the School Psychology Review , 70.6% of students have seen bullying in their school. These bystanders can have a powerful impact to decrease issues of bullying by Standing Up and Speaking Out and Choosing Kindness!
October 14, 2024
Did you know most bullying happens in middle school? The most common types of bullying are verbal and social bullying.
Social bullying, involves hurting someone’s reputation or relationships.
Some examples of social bullying are:
-Leaving someone out on purpose
-Telling others not to be friends with someone
-Spreading rumors about someone
-Embarrassing someone in a public way
October 8, 2024
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. According to recent data, one in five students report being bullied.
Here at Brady we have the opportunity to change this statistic by choosing kindness and actively creating a positive atmosphere for students and staff.
Everyday is a new opportunity to wake up and ask yourself how am I going to be kind today? How am I going to include others? How can I show others I accept them for who they are?
