The Bridge Academy welcomed grandparents, family members and special friend on Nov. 6, for Special Persons Day, an afternoon celebrating the important people in our students’ lives.
Each student invited someone special to spend the afternoon at school. All students created poems and original artwork in honor of their guests. During the visit, students introduced their guests to teachers and presented them with their artwork and a copy of their poem to take home. Students and guests enjoyed snacks, drinks and mingling before an assembly.
During the assembly, some students read poems they had written about their special people. Reading in front of an audience is a significant accomplishment for students with dyslexia. Pride in their achievement was evident among the students themselves, their teachers, classmates and special guests.
Special Persons Day brought students, teachers and loved ones together to share in the students’ accomplishments and strengthen connections within The Bridge Academy community.
