Bridport Community Newletter

Week 12
November 9th, 2025
I want to extend a huge congratulations to all of our students and staff for a tremendously successful all-school field trip to ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain last Thursday. Our students were truly outstanding representatives of Bridport School. They demonstrated incredible curiosity and respect throughout the day!
The experience offered so many wonderful learning opportunities. Students were engaged with the hands-on science exhibits, learned about the natural history and ecology of Lake Champlain, and discovered many of the over 70 species of fish, reptiles, and amphibians the center houses. It was inspiring to see them making real-world connections and diving into scientific discovery.
🔬 Future Focused: The ECHO STEM Festival
The learning continues! We are thrilled to announce that ECHO will be visiting us here at Bridport on Thursday, November 21st, for a special STEM festival.
This is a fantastic opportunity for all students to participate in interactive, science, technology, engineering, and math activities right in our school. We anticipate an exciting day filled with challenges and experiments that will further spark their interest in these critical areas. Please watch for more specific details about the day's events soon.
🌟 Thank You to the Friends of Bridport School
Finally, I want to recognize and offer our deepest thanks to the Friends of Bridport School. Your unwavering commitment and incredible support are vital to our students and teachers.
A special round of applause and heartfelt congratulations for the very fun and highly successful Spaghetti Dinner and Basket Raffle held on Friday! These efforts make experiences like our field trip to ECHO—and so much more—possible. We are so grateful for your passion and dedication to our school community.
We look forward to a fantastic few weeks of continued learning and community events.
Best,
Jenny

A Health Department report shows a rise in accidental ingestion of substances by children since 2018, based on emergency department data. For children under 4 years old and children 10 to 14 years-old over-the-counter (OTC) medication and prescription medication were the most common substances involved in unintentional overdoses in 2022. For children 5 to 9 years old the most common substances involved in unintentional overdoses also included prescription medication.
