Bridgewater Bear Tracks
Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe, Try Your Best
Northfield Public Schools is proud to participate and promote World Down Syndrome Day! On Friday, March 21st, students and family members are invited to join us by ‘rockin’ your wacky socks’ to celebrate individuals with Down syndrome, support inclusion and encourage acts of kindness. People with Down syndrome are born with a 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome (3/21). This is the reason for celebrating World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st, with the idea that it will continue every day after! This video (attached) was created by Kristin Yahnke, a Northfield Mom and Community Member. There are MANY local celebrities represented in the video … even some past and present BW Bears! Please take 5 minutes to watch the video and join us Friday, March 21st for Rock your Socks Day! All students are invited to wear socks with fun patterns, mismatched socks or creative designs!

Northfield All School Art Show at the Northfield Arts Guild
Congratulations to our 115 Bridgewater artists who had their work selected this year for the Northfield Arts Guild All School Art Show. The selected artists will be bringing home yellow letters with postcards attached this week if their work was included in the show. We would love to include all of our wonderful artists from Bridgewater, but we have to share the gallery space with the other schools in Northfield and our wall space is limited. If you are not sure if your artist received a letter, please contact me. The artwork will be displayed Tuesday 2/13/25 through Saturday 3/15/25 at the Northfield Arts Guild on Division Street in downtown Northfield. The address is 304 Division Street, Northfield, MN.
A public reception called the “Imagination Celebration” will be held Saturday, March 8th from 10am -2:30pm. Students, families, guardians, and friends are invited to enjoy the art show, theater performances, art activities, and musical performances during this special day of recognizing the wonderful work these students have created. You may also view the show during regular gallery hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday: 12–5pm Saturday: 11am–4pm.
Congratulations and keep up the great work!
