Alondra Delapaz

Miss Alondra Delapaz is an example every day of what kindness looks like. When there is a need in the classroom you can always find her volunteering to help. She is the first to help a friend pick up their spills, sweep up the classroom if it needs it, or just asks me what she can do to help. The joy she has each day, radiates from the smile she has on her face when she arrives at school. Her attitude and zest for learning is contagious. Alondra puts her best foot forward each and every day even if it is tough, she never complains. I can always count on her to have a proactive mindset! She is a great example of what a leader is!


Nominated by: Mrs. Harris

zoom_out_map
For the month of February, we will be participating in a Candy Bar Fundraiser event in order to raise funds for the Bronson Elementary Schools-Ryan Elementary, and Anderson Elementary. These funds will be used to help pay for student activities and teacher supplies. Our PTO used to sponsor this fundraiser and now that the PTO no longer exists we are sponsoring this event. Our event will begin on February 5, 2025. We are planning an assembly to get the students excited about selling the candy and the prizes they can earn. Students will be asked to sell $1.00 chocolate bars. There are 60 bars in each box. A letter will be send home next week with all of the details on how to participate

Striking Balance: Integrating Karate into Physical Education

Bernice Vargas


Did you know that students from Ryan Elementary go to do Karate in gym class? Sturgis Academy of Martial Arts came into run a couple classes for each class. Learning about karate was so fun, we got to play many games, break boards and learn self-defense. We also learned about the 4 Steps of Being a Champion: Focus, Determination, Respect and Discipline. Macy Coco said, "It was great physical activity." Olivia Maust rated the experience a perfect 10 out of 10, stating; "It was so fun!" Layla Blount said, "It was really cool learning new things."
