This recognition is a testament to your Marauder character, demonstrating what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and always striving to Be Your Best! Brady is involved in tennis, golf, basketball and bowling and enjoys fishing, hunting and acting.

What a fabulous morning we had today! Our inaugural Dads at the Door event was an absolute smash hit, bringing smiles to everyone's faces right from the moment they walked into the school.
We had an amazing group of fathers, and other important male role models who volunteered their time to high-five, give fist-bumps, and share encouraging words with our students as they arrived.
Seeing our students' faces light up as dads were waiting to greet them was truly heartwarming. The energy was electric! It's such a simple way to remind our kids that our entire community supports their education and wants them to have a wonderful, successful day of learning.
This kind of positive welcome sets a great tone for the whole school. Thank you so much to all the dads who participated—you made today feel extra special. We can't wait to make Dads at the Door a recurring highlight throughout the school year!
