We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again, we have the BEST librarian! She’s always striving to do more for our students. Congratulations, Mrs. Franzen!

Bryant School Panthers' Library is getting an upgrade with new books thanks to a ✨Spark Grant✨ by Joice Franzen. As students connect with characters in the books who face challenges, make mistakes, and keep going, they’re building grit and tenacity alongside emotional awareness.
This grant was named in loving memory of Helen Christensen.
