We Love our "Out of this World" Bobcat Crew!
As we approach the final countdown of the school year, it’s time to honor the stellar individuals who make Bridges Elementary the brightest star in the galaxy! From the front office to the classrooms and every hallway in between, our staff works tirelessly to ensure our students reach new heights.
This May, we are launching an "Out of this World," celebration to recognize Principal Appreciation Day, and Teacher Appreciation Week!
Honoring Our Galactic Leaders & Educators
Our staff members are the "Mission Control" of our school, guiding our Bobcats through every discovery and challenge. Whether they are sparking a love for science, navigating complex logistics, or providing a supportive hand, their impact is truly infinite.
We invite our entire community to join the PTO in showering our crew with the gratitude they deserve. Small gestures of thanks—like a handwritten note from a student or a digital "shout-out"—go a long way in making our educators feel like the superstars they are!

Principal Appreciation
April 20th - April 30th Collecting Cards
May 1st Celebrating Mr. Beickel and Ms. Melter!
Bobcat Students, Parents, & Staff can create Thank You cards, notes of encouragement, or even draw pictures and drop them in the collection bins located in the Front Office from April 20th-30th. There will be separate collection bins for Mr. Beickel and Ms. Melter.
PTO will deliver all of the hand-written encouragement to them on May 1st for Principal Appreciation Day.

Teacher Appreciation Week
May 4th - 8th
Each class will have the opportunity to shower their homeroom teacher and assigned staff members with appreciation throughout the week! Looking for the perfect way to say thank you? Head on over to our Faculty Faves if you need some ideas for gifts.
