Bridges Community School
Wow! What amazing things from our Bridges Bears!
Last week with our Showcase afternoon with our students showing off their learning and their artist abilities was amazing. This week with tours for new families and our science fair! Our students have all displayed the love of learning, sharing and growing. We also had many compliments about our students and their manner, life Skills and abililities in the showcase and science fair! Thank you families for continuing to partner in so many ways!

Focus Schools Update
Update on Global Studies and Our Dream Team:
We identified the 14 home languages and the order to introduce them during community groups for the 2025-26 school year. We will be reaching out to families to help us with a little video so we learn how to correctly pronounce and greet each other with welcome and hello in different languages!
We continue to plan for our "being here and there" experiences inside and outside the classroom to enhance our learning.
Discussions around partnerships with local Universities and the potential learning virtually with VR headsets.
Today our staff had inquiry based learning training at Minnesota State University, Mankato. We will continue our learning in June. We are excited about the hands on learning, engagement and cross-curricular content where students help to guide their learning! Curiosity is KEY!
