Dear Three Bridges Families,

Last week, our school community came together to celebrate Kindness Day—a wonderful opportunity to focus on the power of compassion, generosity, and respect. Kindness Day is more than just a moment to pause; it’s a reminder of how simple acts of care can create ripples of positivity that extend far beyond our classrooms. From writing thoughtful notes to helping hands on the playground, it was heartwarming to see our students embody the spirit of kindness in so many meaningful ways.

As we look ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. I am incredibly thankful for the privilege of working with such a talented and dedicated staff and for the support and partnership of our amazing families. Together, we make Three Bridges School a truly special place for our students to grow and thrive.

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and wonderful memories with your loved ones. May your holiday be as warm and welcoming as the community we’ve built here at Three Bridges.

With gratitude,
Kristen Higgins, Ed. D.

We believe our choices can have a positive impact on our world as global citizens; therefore, we strive to lead by example.

• Inquisitive Learning Create and establish an inquiry-based framework that values an interest-driven learning environment. Learners will, individually and collaboratively, focus on identifying, analyzing, and solving problems as inquisitive members of their community.
• Partnerships Establish partnerships that foster meaningful educational opportunities on local, regional, and global scales. Prepare all learners to become engaged and productive citizens through service to others, collaboration, and real-world connections.
• Social Awareness Our learners will feel connected, valued, and secure in digital and non-digital learning environments cultivated by a shared sense of community. Every individual will develop skills that promote an awareness of self and others as well as the environment, including the ability to understand the impact of their decisions.
