A Message From Principal Choquette 11/2/18
I won't pretend to understand how people who are continuously targeted by hate are feeling, all I can do is tell you that I support all of you and stand by all of you. Please accept my heart felt love and admiration for all of our families here at BSS impacted by these horrific events.
If you or your child needs someone to talk to here at school, feel free to contact myself or Laurie Sperry at any time.
Respectfully,
Beth
Reminder!
Walking School Bus
Why haven't you tried the Bridge Street Walking School Bus yet? It's convenient! It has the friendliest bus drivers in town! It always runs on time! It promotes healthy habits! It helps your child transition more easily into the school day! It contributes to a sustainable environment! So don't delay--get on the WSB today and ride the best bus in town!
The WSB runs daily beginning at Sheldon Field at 8:25 and arrives at BSS around 8:35. For more WSB route information, visit the WSB page. Questions: email Stephanie at spouliot2009@gmail.com.
We are considering adding WSB routes along Williams St./Pomeroy Terrace and from the South Street/downtown area. Please contact Stephanie if you are interested in driving or walking these potential routes.

Vision and Action Forum
Hot Chocolate Run for Safe Passage
Bridge Street School has once again registered a team for the 15th Annual Hot Chocolate Run for Safe Passage on Sunday, December 2nd! Please help support the important work Safe Passage does to assist families who have lived with domestic violence by signing up to run or walk with other BSS community members. All participants receive a delicious mug of hot chocolate!
If you aren't able to join in the fun, you can still support the BSS team and Safe Passage by making a financial contribution. No amount is too small!
Visit the BSS team page to either join the team or to make a donation to Safe Passage.
Thank you for your support! Questions: contact Stephanie at spouliot2009@gmail.com.
