Thanksgiving ~A Time To Serve

November is a good time to recognize how we might serve others.  Many of you have brought thoughtful ideas to our discussions about how Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving share the common thread of Service.  During this Holiday season, take some time to show you care by sharing your skills, time, talents, or just offering a helping hand to someone else.  Be prepared to discuss your experiences!

In the Service of Our School,

Mrs. Aldrich

Hello Community Servants,

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.
