Bridport Community Newletter
August 24th, 2025
Howdy, Bridport!
Though students don't arrive back to school until Wednesday, teachers came back last week! We began this year all together as a district on Wednesday morning to share messages of hope, courage, love and purpose as we start a new school year. We also celebrated the accomplishments of two amazing BCS educators: Breaya Walker and Andrea Way!
Andrea was awarded for her distinguished service in the 24-25 school year by Dr. Baker for her unwavering support of all students in small schools, and her leadership during the grade configuration exploration we did this spring. Go Andrea!
Breaya received the Elementary Barbara Whittemore Staff of the Year Award for being the “joy conductor” at Bridport School through her compassion, dedication and flexibility and truly understanding how to support all students with laughter and genuine connection. We are so lucky to benefit from her infectious positivity and joy.
I can't wait to share all the celebrations with you this school year that our community will accomplish... Bridport is the best place to be!
See you soon,
Jenny
