Family Fun Night is tomorrow! Join us for an evening in the land where reading is sweet! 🍭
We can’t wait to see you there for stories, snacks, and fun!

At Brady, family isn’t just something we value—it’s something we’re built on.
We’re continuing our Brady’s Built on Family series by highlighting another incredible connection — sisters Miss M. Widick and Miss S. Widick!
Miss M. Widick brings creativity and life skills to her FCS students, while Miss S. Widick builds the foundation for learning in Kindergarten. Together, they represent the heart of what makes Brady special — family members who share their passion for education and help our Eagles grow from their very first years through high school.

🎃👻 What a Halloween day at Brady! Our K–6 students had a spooktacular afternoon trick-or-treating at the Community Building, while the high school joined in on the fun by “trick-or-treating” through the hallways!
Kindergarten mixed up some magic during their Witches’ Brew Scavenger Hunt, and 2nd grade wrapped up their Matter unit with homemade ice cream — topped with Halloween sprinkles, of course!
From costumes to candy, today was full of smiles, laughter, and plenty of school spirit!

🍂 Fall Cleaning Day! 🍂
As part of a Gala auction project, STUCO spent the morning at Marge Spencer's house washing windows and screens, and helping move a large piece of furniture. Several additional volunteers stepped in to help in place of STUCO members who were unable to attend. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and effort to this community service project!

What a way to finish the season! Our girls wrapped up their cross country journey at the State Meet with grit, heart, and their best performances yet. Throughout the season, they showed up every day ready to put in the work, push a little harder, and lift each other higher. The result? Personal bests, steady growth, and a team that truly embodies perseverance and pride. So proud of these athletes — not just for how they ran, but for how they grew. Here’s to every mile, every challenge, and every finish line crossed together.





Meet another one of our STUCO leaders! Say hello to Reanna Davis, Student Council Secretary! Reanna is a sophomore who’s involved in One Acts, Speech, FFA, Band, and of course, STUCO!
Stay tuned as we keep introducing the awesome student leaders who help make BHS shine! 🦅
