Despite four days of rainy weather our

annual carnival still raised over

$4,500.00 for our school. When the

weather cooperated everyone enjoyed

the rides, games, food and fun. Our

students and families had such a great

time we hope to do it again next year!

“Bruno”

They conquer who

believe they can. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Once again we

come to the end of

another super school

year. This year really

seemed to go by

quickly. Our children,

staff, and parent vol-

unteers accomplished

many great things this

year.

I would like to

take this opportunity

to thank the many,

many people who do-

nated their time and

energy to help

make this school

year a successful

year. This commit-

ment to greatness

is evident throughout

our school. Great peo-

ple make great

schools! Thank you for

helping to make our

school a truly great

school.

I look forward to

the start of the 2004-

2005 school year with

great hopes and high

expectations. Relax and

enjoy the summer

months. I’ll see you in

September.

Best Wishes,

2004 SPRING FLING GOOD CLEAN FUN !

Volume 10 , Issue 1

Taking a spin on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Roaring around on the Dragon Coaster.

Waiting to get wiped out on the Wipeout. A little Bridge School driver’s education on the Bumper Cars.

Racing down the Big Slide. Hanging out with friends and throwing darts for big prizes.

Bridge Bugle Page 11

SPRING FLING

A leap of faith in the Castle. A brave soul dares to take on the Bungee Jump.

Throwing rings on bottles for big prizes. It’s harder than it looks! A little informal security to watch over the festivities.

Thank You! To all the teachers, staff, parents, former students and

community members who so graciously donated their

time and volunteered to help make our carnival the best

yet. Great people make great schools!

finally emerged and became a reality to the students

who have been waiting in anticipation for weeks. The

race was on to see which chrysalis would split open

first. Soon we will release the butterflies to their nat-

ural environment.
