Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

I would like to begin by thanking everyone that had a chance to come out and support our band and choir performances this week. It was great to see so many of our families support the hard work of our talented students.

This week, over 400 of our Junior students took the SAT exam on Wednesday. We are excited to see the results and celebrate our students’ growth.

Good luck to Audrey Slivka, who will compete in the OHSAA State Wrestling Championships at The Schott this weekend. The girl’s bowling team will be competing in the OHSAA bowling state championship on Saturday for the first time in school history. Good luck: Kay Butcher, Cam Gale, Rachel Johnson, Madison Kaylor, Morgan Kaylor and Maddy Lawrence. The competition begins at 10:00 am at HP Lanes. Boys basketball will be competing in the district semifinals against Westerville Central at Ohio Dominican University beginning at 11:00 am. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of these events this weekend.

Finally, as we conclude the third quarter, please review your child’s grades and discuss strengths and areas for improvement to set goals for the fourth quarter. Take time to celebrate your child’s successes and continue to work with their respective teachers to achieve any improvement that needs to be made.

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!!!

The National Merit Scholarship Program has now determined which of the 16,000 Semifinalists named in September 2023 that have met all requirements to advance to Finalist standing in the competition. Hilliard Bradley High School’s Finalists in the 2023-2024 National Merit Scholarship Competition include Aayush R. Kumar and Maxton Wayt. These students will be recognized at the March 11th board meeting.

This weekend is a big event weekend for our Jaguars.  Wrestling districts begin today at Darby High School beginning at 4:00 pm. The Bradley cheerleaders will compete at the state competition beginning at 10:18 am and 4:19 pm at Big Walnut High School.  Lilly Gibbs will compete in the gymnastics state championship at Bradley High School on Sunday beginning at 10:00 am.

We’re quickly approaching the end of the third nine weeks of this school year — time truly flies! It remains crucial that your child is present in school every day so they can nurture the essential skills identified by our community in our Portrait of a Learner.  Above all, our goal is to cultivate Resilient Learners—students who adapt positively to change, show flexibility in their thinking and actions and learn and grow from both their achievements and setbacks. In this video, a Hilliard parent and local college professor, will shed light on the significance of these skills in today’s ever-changing world.

Each day your student isn’t in school, they are missing out on strategies and opportunities to develop their skills in this area further. Your active involvement and support play a pivotal role in this journey. Together, let’s ensure that your child’s presence at school continues to be a cornerstone of their growth and success.

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!

Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,

As we head into the long weekend, I would like to thank our families who donated this quarter to the PTO staff coffee cart. Our staff truly appreciates the support shown by our amazing families here at Bradley.

On Wednesday, March 6th, from 7:40 am to 12:00 pm, we will administer the SAT to all Junior students. Students not taking the SAT will work remotely from home for the day. We will send more information about the day’s activities as we get closer to the date.

As we move through the second half of this school year, we want to emphasize the importance of our students being self-advocates, a key trait in our Portrait of a Learner. This means students recognize the importance of physical, mental, social-emotional, and digital wellness and can build a healthy self-image and self-esteem to pursue their individual goals.

Regular attendance is an essential part of this journey. Check out this video, where Samuel Davis, an executive business consultant, and parent, shares how these skills apply to all career pathways. Thank you for supporting your child’s regular attendance.

Finally, Bradley High School will be closed on Friday, February 16th, and Monday, February 19th. Students will resume classes on Tuesday, February 20th. I hope everyone enjoys their time with friends and family over the next few days.

 

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!
