DRESSES, DIAPERS & DIPLOMAS
We’re introducing a new semi-regular section to Inside Bryan ISD featuring you or your child’s recent WEDDING, BABY or GRADUATION.
If you’d like to be a part of this section, please send a high-quality photo to info@bryanisd.org along with a short description of who is in the photo and a few details about the life-changing event.
Please note, your photo submission might be featured in a later edition of Inside Bryan ISD if it’s not included in the month you submit it. Also, to abide by the laws of humanity and to avoid complete and utter chaos, we will NOT hold “cutest baby contests.” You’re welcome Chick-fil-A 🙂

Additional Gifts
“I share this memory with full awareness of what this post will say a lot about my age. 🙂 I have such a vivid memory of receiving a pocket-sized transistor radio when I was eight. It sounds crazy to say but that was cutting edge technology in 1964. Having discovered its dresser drawer hiding place well in advance of Christmas, I would sneak in and give a listen when Mom wasn’t around. (So much so that the battery was dead when Santa left it as a gift on Christmas morning.)”
-Debbie Richards
“A gold, engraved heart locket on a gold chain from my Great-Aunt Madeline, for whom I was named. The French locket was sent to her on her 16th birthday by her older brother who was stationed in France at the time, during World War II.”
-Madeline Styron
“The most memorable gift I’ve received was a letter from a student that I struggled with building a relationship with all last year. I cried when reading it, and it always brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. She gave this to me as my “gift” on the last day of school.”
-Kacee Rogers

A HUGE HEART
A few weeks before Thanksgiving, Justin Smith, community outreach officer, found out about a family who could not afford to have a Thanksgiving meal this year. Instead of feeling simply bad about it, Justin decided to swoop into action. He worked tirelessly to identify 77 families who needed financial assistance with their Thanksgiving meals. Then, he organized Justin Payton to smoke the turkeys donated by a very special but anonymous person & several volunteers including Bryan ISD Board members, employees and community members to deliver the Thanksgiving meals with sides and tea included. The families were so grateful for the meals.
And, Justin didn’t stop there. He also served as Santa Clause at a Henderson Elementary’s recent Read by Third event.
Suffice to say, it is a pleasure to work with Justin Smith and an honor to know him. We’re sure you all agree.
