Bridport Community Newletter

In times of uncertainty, the greatest strength of our school community shines through—our ability to come together and support one another. At BCS, we are dedicated to creating an environment of Safety, Kindness, Integrity and Belonging.

This week, I saw a perfect example of this spirit of collaboration in action, and it truly inspired me.

🚌 A Lesson in Leadership and Kindness

One of our wonderful bus drivers, Ms. Ashli, sat down with the students and facilitated a collaborative session.

Together, they didn't just create a list of "dos and don'ts"; they crafted a set of "Bus Expectations" centered on leadership and kindness.

The students took ownership, discussing what it means to be a safe, helpful, and respectful passenger. This story beautifully illustrates the power of shared responsibility and the importance of student voice. When we empower our students to be leaders—whether on the bus, in the classroom, or on the playground—they rise to the occasion.

This is just one example of many where we work together and help our students shine When we focus on our shared values— Safety, Kindness, Integrity and Belonging —we can turn any moment of into an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that make our school an exceptional place.

In partnership,
Jenny

In Spanish class, our young linguists have been busy exploring the Spanish-speaking world! Students are learning to name all 21 Spanish-speaking countries while hearing stories, discovering amazing landforms, trying out traditional games, and learning about special celebrations.

This week, we “traveled” to Guatemala to learn about the barriletes gigantes—the enormous, colorful kites flown every November 1st in the town of Sumpango. Each student created their own mini barrilete after learning about this impressive tradition.

Happy fall to all!

The 3rd-4th grade ended their soccer season 10/18 with a 3 game series with 7 players.

We had 72 kids in the toddler-4th grade soccer season which was amazing!

Reminder: 11/2/25 Holiday Bazaar Fundraiser from 11am-3pm at school. We have a couple spaces left for vendors and would love to see family and friends stop by to shop the local products. Girl scouts will be selling food items and will also have an assortment of raffle items.
