It is a brand new program being offered in addition to summer school on Mondays-Fridays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm between August 1st through August 12th, 2016. The Summer Bridge Program is open to all incoming 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade Best students. The purpose of this program is to help our students get a “jumpstart” to their new grade level expectations. To learn more information about the Summer Bridge Program, please join us in the Best library on May 12th at 6:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you!
