Principal's Message
Welcome to our February Newsletter! As we move through the heart of winter, our school community remains focused, engaged, and committed to learning and growing together. February is a month filled with meaningful opportunities for reflection, celebration, and connection. From recognizing Black History Month and celebrating kindness and friendship, to continuing our strong academic momentum, there is so much to be proud of in our 3–5 learning community. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in helping our students thrive each day.
As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership. When families and schools work together, our students benefit in countless ways.
Warm regards,
Peter Mercurio
Principal of Bragg School
Leadership
February is a special month in our school year. While it may be the shortest month on the calendar, it is certainly full of meaningful learning experiences and opportunities to strengthen our school community. Our students are deeply engaged in their academic work, demonstrating perseverance, creativity, and a growing sense of independence. It is wonderful to see them taking ownership of their learning and striving toward their academic goals each day.
This month also provides us with opportunities to reflect on the importance of character, kindness, and inclusion. Through classroom discussions, collaborative projects, and schoolwide activities, we continue to emphasize respect, responsibility, and compassion. Infused with leadership opportunities, we are working to be proactive in our decision-making and intentional in recognizing positive actions. Students who demonstrate acts of kindness and leadership will earn PAWS tickets and will be recognized at our next Pack Rally at the end of the month. Celebrating these moments helps reinforce the values that define our school community.
We have also begun empowering students to take on leadership roles during whole-school rallies and assemblies by introducing and welcoming guests to Bragg School. These experiences help build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of ownership in our school. We look forward to continuing to expand these opportunities so that even more students can be actively involved and contribute to our strong and supportive community.
School Lunch Survey for Students
We are inviting students in grades 1–5 to participate in a brief survey to share their thoughts about their school experience. Participation is completely optional, but we would appreciate it if you would consider completing the survey together with your child(ren).
The survey is short and student-friendly, and your child’s feedback will help us continue to improve our programs and services.
If your child is interested in participating, please use the link below to access the survey at a time that is convenient for your family.
