Midsummer Annoucements!
July 24th, 2026
Hey Everyone!
I hope you’ve all been having a wonderful summer! We’ve had such a blast at summer camp this month—it’s been wonderful watching everyone learn, create, and play together. I hope you’ve all had a chance to get outside, spend quality time with family and friends, and enjoy a few creemees along the way! :)
I wanted to pass along a few upcoming opportunities to connect and get some important dates on your radar:
STEM Show @ Shoreham School: July 30th at 1:30 PM
Events/Logistics Committee Meeting: August 6th at 5:00 PM @ Bridport School
Summer Meal Sites
Behind the scenes, we’ve been hard at work at BCS getting everything moved, cleaned, and prepped.
Teachers have been popping in and out all week to set up their classrooms, and the growing energy in the building is making us so excited to welcome students back!
A HUGE thank you to Kevin, Jess, and Eric for working tirelessly to get our school spick and span!
I’m so looking forward to seeing you all soon. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just want to catch up!
Warmly,
Jenny
