January 5th, 2025
Saint Bridget School: a Catholic community that encourages a love of God, respect for all, and academic excellence.
Principal's Notes
I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break, filled with joy and precious time spent together celebrating Christmas Day and the New Year. As we continue to embrace the Christmas season, we are excited to mark the Feast of the Epiphany today.
This significant feast commemorates the visit of the Three Kings, or Magi, to the newborn Jesus, acknowledging Him as the Savior of all people—not just the Jews, but for the whole world. The Epiphany reminds us of God’s universal love and the light of Christ that shines for all to see.
Drama Club - We are looking forward to the coming production of Shrek Jr., Drama Club starts this Tuesday with open auditions for students in grade 3 - 8.
Dress Down Day - This coming Friday is a Dress Down Day for $1.00 to support Children's Ministries.
I look forward to welcoming our students back tomorrow, dress warm!
All my best,
Matthew Collins
Principal
School Closure/delay due to Weather Conditions - Preparing for Winter Season
Please review the snow-day/inclement weather school cancelation process.
If Abington Public School is noted as closed/delayed on public television - Saint Bridget School will also be closed/delayed. A text/voice message will be sent out from our student information system to announce closure/delay.
Saint Bridget School may opt to close/delay even when the Town of Abington does not. It is important to think of Saint Bridget School as a “regional school” covering 23 communities. Street conditions in regional towns, and area school district closures may not mirror the conditions or actions taken by Abington. In that case, SBS may opt to close/delay school. A text/voice message will be sent out from our student information system to announce closure/delay.
In the case of a school delay, there will be no before-school program and no school for Preschool and Pre-K ½ day students.
Saint Bridget School may close early if the weather worsens dramatically during a daytime storm, in this case, the After School program would be canceled. A text/voice message will be sent out from our student information system to announce an early closure.
