Hello Bradley Families.

We are in need of a Spirit Night Coordinator.  This person would be vital in helping PTO continue to raise the funds needed to support the Bradley High School community.  The responsibilities would include calling local restaurants and setting up dates for Spirit Nights.  You then would need to communicate the information to the PTO.  This could be at the PTO meetings or over email.

Please email if you would be able to help!  hilliardbradleypto@gmail.com.

Thank you for considering and for your continued support!

From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
