August 4, 2025
Dear BRADA Families,
Welcome to a brand-new chapter in our school’s history! We are thrilled to officially introduce you
to Betsy Ross Arts and Design Academy (BRADA) – an exciting evolution of the strong arts legacy
built over many decades at BRAMS. With the launch of our first-ever 9th grade class, we begin our
journey toward becoming a full grade 7–12 arts-focused magnet school.
This transformation marks the beginning of a vibrant future that blends rigorous arts education
with college and career readiness—preparing students not only for the stage and studio but also for
life beyond graduation.
We invite you to join us for our upcoming Orientation Nights, where you will meet school leaders,
learn more about our academic and arts programming, and hear about what to expect this school
year:
● Grade 9 Orientation: Monday, August 25th at 5:00 PM
● Grades 6–8 Orientation: Tuesday, August 26th at 5:00 PM
Both sessions will take place in our auditorium and will provide an opportunity to meet the
leadership team, learn more about expectations and resources available to support your child.
Whether you’re new to our community or returning, thank you for being part of this remarkable
journey. We are honored to partner with you as we launch BRADA and continue our tradition of
cultivating artists, scholars, and future leaders.
With excitement and gratitude,
Jennifer Jenkins, Principal
