Come join us on April 19th at 9:30am for
the 4th Annual Bradley 5K and Kid's Fun
Run. We have the perfect distance for every member of the family with a 5k, 1 mile or 1/2 mile run. We will
have great age group awards for 5K participants and Dinger from the Rockies will be handing the kids’ finisher
ribbons for our 1 mile and 1/2 mile participants.
The 5K is a timed, flat, fast scenic course that runs along the beautiful Highline Canal. We will have free child
care for ages 3 and up for both parents that want to run. We also have a stroller division with the winner
receiving a very tasty gift certificate to a local eatery.

From Mr. Wera --- On Friday, April 10th, a Denver Public Schools Parent Satisfaction Survey went home in your child’s
Friday Folder. If you have more than one child at Bradley, it was sent home with your oldest child.
It is very important that we hear from you! The survey only takes a few minutes, and must be completed with a #2
pencil. Please SEAL and return to Bradley or mail in the postage paid envelope provided. A pink half sheet was included
with the survey. Please fill out the form with your child’s name and classroom. Classrooms with the highest
percentages of returned surveys or signed pink half-sheets (mailed from home) will receive extra recess on Friday, May
1st! Last year, we received over 93% of surveys returned. This year we strive for 100%--yes, 100%!! Please don’t
hesitate to contact the main office or Mr. Wera if you have any questions regarding this survey. Thank you for your
participation and continued support of Bradley International.
