September is a month of “firsts”. There is the first day of school, the first day of Autumn, the first day of soccer, the first day you need a jacket, and so on. It is also a time for new beginnings. We meet new people, make new friends, and adjust to new schedules. It is a chance to begin again.

As we embrace these opportunities for new starts I would like to welcome back all our students and their families.

The summer is almost over and I have missed seeing you.  I have missed your smiles, your hugs, your giggles, your voices and the enthusiastic way you approach all the challenges set before you.  It will be good to start again.

I would also like to welcome our new families.  To those of you who are beginning nursery school or Mommy & Me for the first time, I can assure you it will be a rewarding experience you and your child will look forward to.

For my new friends, who have come to Bridges from other schools or communities, I want to thank you for your choice.  It will only take a short while before you will become a welcome part of the Bridges family.

So here is to one more first…let me be the first to say:  ”Welcome to Bridges”.
