As we prepare for another exciting school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the incredible support, patience, and partnership you have shown throughout my first year as principal. It has truly been an honor to lead Bradfield Elementary, and I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished together.

This past year was filled with growth, celebration, and community. From launching new instructional practices to building strong classroom connections, we made tremendous strides. I’m especially proud of our staff’s dedication to meeting every child where they are and helping them reach their fullest potential through small group instruction and targeted support. Every student matters, and every child can grow—and we are committed to making that happen every single day.

This year marks my 19th year in education and my 15th year proudly serving in Garland ISD. I live in Garland with my husband, Mike, and our two children—Hannah (5) and Will (3). As both an educator and a parent in this community, I am deeply dedicated to the success of our schools and families. Garland is home, and I consider it a privilege to give back to the community that has given me so much.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our families. Thank you for trusting us with your children, for your patience during this year of transition, and for your unwavering encouragement. Your involvement makes Bradfield such a special place.

Looking ahead, we are excited to continue the work we have started. Mr. Formaggini and I are honored to return as your administrative team and are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and academically rich environment for all students. We also look forward to growing our PTA and strengthening the school-home connection. Your support truly enhances every aspect of our school, and we can’t wait to partner with you even more this year.

Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and Cowboy pride. Go Cowboys
