Hello Albert Bridge School!
We have had a busy and productive week being responsible for our learning, our environment, and each other.  Soccer players have been practicing and playing hard~Keep up the hard work!  The Vermont Symphony Orchestra's Instrumental Petting Zoo came to ABS on Friday and the students had a chance to try many different instruments. Thank you Ms. Becker, Ms. Jones, Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Underhill, Ms. Mello, Ms. Garrow and especially, Ms. Bell for helping our instrumentalists explore the many instruments! Our 3-6 graders will be presenting their speeches for student council next week! I can't wait to hear about the great ideas your young community leaders will contribute to our school. Spelling bee students are hard at work preparing for their regional spelling bee on October 7th.  Athletes, scholars, musicians, civil servants, environmentalists, gardeners, scientists, historians, photographers, spellers, and most of all LEARNERS fill our halls everyday.  Thank you for being so responsible and caring.

Mrs. Bodley, Mrs. Emerson, and the 2nd graders begin their journey to compare Brownsville's past with present day.  Young photographers keep a keen eye out for the right angle.

Responsibility

Good Morning Responsible Community Members,

We have been diligently practicing different ways to be a responsible member of the Albert Bridge Community. I am looking forward to filling our bucket this week with the many ways you take responsibility for your learning and impact on the community.  Why do you think it is important to be responsible? Be prepared to share!

Responsibly Yours,

Mrs. Aldrich

Week 2

                                                September 3, 2013

Hello Albert Bridge School Community,

 This week we will be continuing to build our community and look for ways we fill each other's buckets.  Albert Bridge Students have demonstrated they are a caring and respectful community.  We'll have our bucket with brief stories that show how other people fill our bucket. Some people in our community have filled the Albert Bridge Bucket by participating in the Target "Take Charge of Education"! Thanks for choosing Albert Bridge as your school to support. 

                                   

Gratefully, 

                      Mrs. Aldrich

Recycling in Action

Today, we began our recycling program!  ABS Students are working hard to take care of our planet!

Week 1

Hello All,

The first four days of the Albert Bridge 2013-2014 school year have been busy and productive. Students are stepping up to the plate and showing what a great community West Windsor and Brownsville are.

The afterschool program is up and running.  Please contact us if you are interested!

Tuesday was our  first assembly of the year and we began a discussion about what a community is. A group of people who work together, help each other, and take care of each other were thoughts our students shared with each other.  We also read one of my favorite books about meeting someone new.

On Wednesday Albert Bridge Students and Faculty participated in a nation wide bell ringing to celebrate and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the "March on Washington".  Many thoughtful and challenging conversations took place in our walls about civil rights and how much work we still need to do as a nation to make sure ALL people are given the same opportunities. 

Soccer practice has started off with some good hustle! Grades 3-6 have practice this Saturday.  Thank you Matt, Eli, and  Anne for getting this off the ground this year!  Also, student athletes showed their leadership skills as they worked with the k-1 kids practice.  

Friday will be our second assembly and we will continue our discussion around what a community is and what our responsibilities are in our community!  Teachers have been working with the students to understand how our actions impact others.  I will be sharing a book about taking care of others during the Friday assembly.

Congratulations Albert Bridge School~Excellent start to the school year!
