Doby's Bridge Elementary News

It was a wonderful week at The Bridge, with students and staff working hard across campus. A highlight of our week was welcoming the Catawba Ridge High JROTC Cadets, who gave our school a fantastic greeting on Wednesday morning!

Building the Bridge Together,

Principal

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for our school-wide Service Learning Project. If you have signed up please turn in those items labeled with the grade by Friday November 13th so we can get everything organized. Some of our grades are still in need of items so please take a look, we would love your support for this project. As a reminder, this year's Service Learning Project will be on Tuesday November 24th and we will be making Bridge Bags.

The bridge bag is a cinched bag containing items that could benefit a person in need, such as toothbrush, deodorant wipes, etc. Each grade level is responsible for collecting the specific items that will be used to fill the bags. If you have children in multiple grades you will notice some grade levels have more students and require more items. Thank you for your support.

Sign up for donated items using the following links by grade level:

• Kindergarten Sign Up
• 1st Grade Sign Up
• 2nd Grade Sign Up
• 3rd Grade Sign Up
• 4th Grade Sign Up
• 5th Grade Sign Up
