Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Bryant: Answering The Call

At Collegeville Elementary, being bold and brave means stepping up when students need you most. In July, the school faced a sudden need for a Special Education teacher: and Gina Milam answered the call.

“It was a hard one, in a way, because I didn’t wanna leave my team,” Milam said. “But those CBI babies, I really needed someone to step in and take that place. I already had the license to do it, so I wanted to try something new and be there for those kids.”

“Seeing those babies smile and light up and having someone there for them, and then also just seeing the growth they’ve already made in this school year—it’s been really fun,” she shared. “We just kind of formed this wonderful team—me and my three wonderful paras. We tackle all the challenges together to make those kids feel loved and appreciated.”

Assistant Principal Justin Leaton said her decision perfectly embodies this year’s district mantra. “Gina has really showcased ‘Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Bryant’ from the beginning this year. Starting off, we had a need in the CBI classroom, and she was anxious to jump in that role. That’s not the easiest thing to do, coming from a regular classroom into the special education world, but she embraced the challenge wholeheartedly.”

“She’s meeting every student where they are, to do what’s best for them,” Leaton added. “That’s our mission here at Collegeville—love, learn, and grow together—and Gina has done that wholeheartedly from day one.”

This week, Collegeville lit up with GREEN for “Wear Green Wednesday”! 💚 We proudly wore our school color to show unity and support as part of our “Start with Hello” week. It was a beautiful reminder of how small gestures can build big connections. From smiles in the hallway to high-fives on the playground, we’re all about promoting positive relationships at CES—and Wednesday was a shining example of that!

🌟✨ Kindergarten is on the MOVE! ✨🌟

Our youngest learners have been busy growing their brains, building friendships, and becoming part of our school family 💛

📚 They’re leveling up in Lexia and earning Golden Tickets for showing kindness, effort, and responsibility!

🧪 In science, they’ve been making predictions and testing them using the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty—yes, eggs were involved, and yes, it was awesome 🥚💥

📝 They’ve learned what a contract is and created their very own Class Social Contract—a shared promise to take care of ourselves, each other, and our space 🤝

✍️ Students are practicing how to hold a writing utensil correctly, and learning how to work in a group—taking turns, sharing ideas, and cheering each other on.

Every day, they’re not just learning—they’re becoming a school family. One golden ticket, one cracked egg, and one kind word at a time 💫

It’s National Arts in Education Week!
At Bryant Schools, we are proud to offer exceptional Fine Arts programs in visual arts, music, band, choir, and theatre. Every elementary student receives art and music instruction, while middle and high school students can explore band, choir, theatre, and advanced visual arts opportunities.
Fine Arts education does more than nurture creativity: it builds confidence, teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills. Students gain cultural awareness, discover new talents, and develop lifelong passions that prepare them for success in school, careers, and beyond.
We are thankful for our outstanding Fine Arts teachers and celebrate the incredible creativity of our students.
