Happy SUNNY Sunday!

It really starting to feel like spring with warmer temperatures, daylight savings, and the return of MUD! Its hard to believe that we are already in March.. this year has flown by.

This upcoming week, we have our first combined event with Shoreham students. On Wednesday, March 11th, Bridport K-5 students will be headed to Shoreham School to watch our Middle School Band perform. Then, K-4 students will gather in their grade level cohorts to have a special snack and morning meeting.

In this lyrical and empowering picture book, Canadian poet Scott tells a story based on his own experiences as a boy who stuttered. In simple, evocative language, he captures the isolation, social devastation, and self-doubt of a child who feels incapable of communicating his thoughts and offers an affirming way to think about difference. As the boy’s dad picks him up from school one day and takes him for a walk by the river to de-stress and relax, the narrative goes beyond the calming solace found in the natural world to make a more profound comparison and connection.
