Message from the Principal | |
Dear Families,
We had a very busy week at Fairmount and Bryden! On Tuesday evening, second-grade students held a ‘Travel the World’ exhibit and vocal concert at the high school. Thank you to all of the family and friends who attended the show and to our music teacher, Shelley McKenzie, for all of her hard work. It was a wonderful evening.
Fairmount's annual Carnival on Thursday was a fun-filled day of activities. Students had a lovely time celebrating their school year. Scroll down to see pictures from this event!
Today, the Bryden community enjoyed welcoming our friends from Fairmount during a school visit on Tuesday. It was so exciting meeting our rising kindergarten students! Fairmount students took a tour of the building, visited kindergarten classrooms, and played outside on the playground. It was a fun-filled day with lots of smiles! Thank you to our prekindergarten and kindergarten teachers for making this visit so special for our students. Scroll down to see pictures of their visit.
Sincerely,
Ms. Arianna DeGeorge
Bryden/Fairmount Principal

Save the Date: Bryden Summer Reading Party
Your child has worked so hard this year. We have seen so much growth in reading through our practice with fluency, comprehension, word work, and class discussions. According to research, students who do not read over the summer can lose as much as 22% of their reading level. That means that almost two months of reading instruction could be forgotten!
We are very excited at Bryden to help prevent that loss by encouraging your child to read over the summer. We have created a reading packet that includes a reading log for your child to keep track of his or her reading. There are also follow-up written response activities to complete after finishing a book. Trick (“snap”, “fry”) words are also included for summer practice. Raz-Kids, the online reading resource, will also be available over the summer. This is another great way to keep reading skills sharp.
We are asking that your child read for at least 20 minutes five days a week. In addition, students should complete at least five of the activities of their choice provided in this packet. If your child does this awesome work, they can bring their packet to the Storybook Party and Book Swap on Thursday, August 8, from 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. at the Fairmount Early Childhood Center playground. Please bring at least one book (or more) in good condition, and you will be able to choose a different gently used book to swap! We are grateful to the Beachwood PTO for sponsoring our Storybook Party. We wish you a wonderful summer and lots of great stories!
