Dear Parents,

 

Today your child joined me during Morning Assembly to recognize and honor the efforts of each parent, relative and friend who volunteered time and talents on behalf of a better learning experience for Bridge Point students.  Each effort makes a difference.  The Bridge Point teaching staff works very hard.  However, the glow of this campus results from the complementary efforts of our staff and the generous efforts of each volunteer.  To begin a list of individuals and ways they help is easy.  To end it is impossible.

 

Volunteering, being a part of the fabric of this campus, is organic to Bridge Point.  Take a look anywhere and at anytime.  So much occurs in all activities that would either not exist or not be as helpful without volunteer help.

 

Today we slowed down to observe the obvious and what we have come to take for granted.   During assembly we did some thinking, some looking, some thanking and some celebrating.  We recognized today’s visitors who represent the huge percentage of you busy folks who volunteer for Bridge Point.  They represented you well and then enjoyed some goodies prepared by Bridge Point teachers during a modest reception in the library.

 

As a staff we agree that we need to be intentional about the elements it takes to make a relevant, meaningful and engaging school experience for our students.  Our students need to know that the volunteer activity on our campus is a difference maker.  They need to be reminded you are busy and talented and resourceful.  They should know you make a choice to be a part of the school, you carve selfless time from your busy lives and that you make a difference.  We notice and we feel your contributions.  Today’s Volunteer Recognition and Reception, which included all BP students, was a lesson for them and reminder for us all how good we have it here in this talented and giving Bridge Point community.  We notice.

 

Sincerely,

 

M. Bradford Wirht
