We are thrilled to celebrate Ms. Bryson, our wonderful 5th Grade teacher, as this week's Wildcat Staff of the Week!
Ms. Bryson has gone above and beyond once again this year, learning yet another new set of subjects while also leading her team with dedication and grace. Last week, she stepped in to help in the office to ensure staff and students were supported. In less than 12 hours, she pulled together a group to represent Blackland Prairie Elementary in the Cedar Ridge High School Homecoming Parade. The joy and pride of seeing former and current students light up when they saw the Wildcats represented was truly unforgettable, and it would not have happened without her extra effort.
We appreciate her dedication to our students and the Blackland Prairie community. Congratulations, Ms. Bryson!
