Community is a group of people living in the same place. What do empathy and community have in common? Bridlewood School! All students at Bridlewood put their understanding of empathy and community to work to raise money to buy necessary items to donate to the MustardSeed. In September, the grade four classes spent a week at the Mustard Seed or 2School and learned about how our community supports people in need. Students heard from a resident at the Mustard Seed, visited CUPS and Inn From the Cold. Students learned about their stories and how they feel in our community. Students want to make sure they feel important and cared for. That they are visible. Grade one students have been focusing their work around what community means and how they can show good citizenship by contributing to their community. Being inspired by their classroom work, grade one and four students hosted a healthy bake sale in December and raised $1224.55. Can you believe we were able to raise this much money? With the help and support of Mr. Mark Phillip and his connections at London Drugs, the money was used to buy 28 hairbrush and comb sets, 28 containers of lip balm, 28 packages of kleenex, 28 tubes of toothpaste, 28 pairs of wool socks, 28 toothbrushes, 28 bottles of shampoo, 28 bottles of conditioner, 28 packages of razors, 28 deodorants, and 28 bars of soap. Students filled 28 collapsible bags with each of these much needed/requested items. Students included notes in each bag to let the recipient know we are thinking about them and care about them. Thank-you Bridlewood School for caring for our community. Without everyone’s support, we wouldn’t have been able to do such an amazing job of showing others we care and they are important too. YearbookBRIDLEWOOD SCHOOL YEAR BOOK ORDERS Parents & Guardians In October all students had a year book fee of $25 attached to their MYCBE/PowerSchool account. A number of parents have now paid for the year book and a few parents have advised me directly that they do not wish to order the year book and this has been removed from their account. Please be aware that any yearbooks that have not been paid for by Monday 28th January, will be removed from the MYCBE/PowerSchool account by Thursday 31st January, we will only order yearbooks that have been paid for Let's Do Math- Exploding DotsMustard Seed- GratitudeFelted SoapWe will be creating felted soap with our Grade 2 buddies. We will then donate our soap to support our community.
