Panther News
Bryant elementary, proud home of the Panthers!
From Mrs. Wilkins, School Principal
Dear Bryant Families,
What a wonderful week we’ve had at school! Our Pies with Parents event had an incredible turnout—thank you to everyone who was able to join us and spend time celebrating learning with your children.
This week also brought an exciting opportunity through our partnership with the Holter Museum as artist Paul Blumenthal worked with students on our school mural project. Their creativity, collaboration, and pride in this work have been inspiring.
Across the building, students have been focusing on intentional acts of kindness, lifting each other up and strengthening our school community. In classrooms, they are making terrific academic progress, and we are so grateful for the effort you put into getting your child(ren) to school on time each day—it truly makes a difference. Their growth has been remarkable.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
A reminder that next week we have school on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday- Friday is Thanksgiving break.
With gratitude,
Principal Wilkins

Helena School District and Helena Community Supporting Families in Need
🤎The Helena Food Share:
1. Food donations: HFS welcomes any commercially processed food, including wild game (through Tizer Meats or Montana City Meats for Hunters Against Hunger processing).
Here is their current wish list: flour, sugar, canned meals, canned fruit, peanut butter, and pasta sauce. We’re also in need of sliced bread, condiments, and shelf-stable juice. Coffee, tea, crackers, chips, and fresh bread from our local bakeries are also very welcome.
Please bring these or any food donations to the drive-up donation door along Boulder Ave. These items will be used for community meals and items available at Helena Food Share, as well as the Kid Packs delivered to schools.
2. Monetary Donations: Monetary donations are always welcome and it helps them purchase items in bulk. They can also stretch a dollar a lot further if need be. HFS donation QR code (on RIGHT) will also be on reader boards at each school.
**Support their holiday food drives at local stores this month: Nov. 1 at Safeway, Nov. 8 at Super 1 Foods, and Nov. 15 at Albertsons. All are 10am-4pm.
3. Volunteering: HFS is always looking for an extra hand or two. To learn more, click HERE.
🤎HPS RevTrak Donations
Consider donating to HPS RevTrak to help cover school meals for kids who are not already receiving support and family is affected by the government shutdown. You can find the QR code (on LEFT) that takes you directly to the donation center, and the link to the home page HERE.
We will use one RevTrak donation source and divvy the funds across the district per school need, unless the donor indicates a specific school placement. You can also go to a specific HPS school's website and find their RevTrak link to donate directly to that school.
Bryant Gear
Exciting news, the Bryant gear store will be open through Thanksgiving break. Items will be ready in time for the holidays.
