Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In remembering Dr. King's vision and leadership, let's all commit to doing one small thing in a great way to create a more just and equitable world.
MASKS REQUIRED for the week of January 17-21. Details here ⇉ https://bryantschools.org/page/mask-status
When notifying our district Point of Contact about positive cases of COVID, we ask that you choose ONE reporting method only. Submitting one of the forms is the most efficient means of contact. If you complete one of the forms, please do not email. If you email, please do not call/text. Our POC team is working diligently to process all of the cases; duplicate reports slow down the process.
METHODS TO REPORT: https://www.bryantschools.org/page/covid-19-information
REMINDER: Bryant Schools will be closed on Monday, January 17 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Day.

BHS art teacher Katherine Purcell is passionate about engaging her students.
In her 3D design and sculpture classes students created animations using the Stop Motion Studio and iMovie apps on their new iPads. They began by creating a storyboard to plan out their animations. They worked individually or in groups of two and were required to make their animations at least 10 seconds long (120 pictures) and to add sound using iMovie.
