Thanksgiving
Dinners: We try to maintain a "family"
atmosphere at BRIDGE. If you are a family, then
you have Thanksgiving Dinner together! Each year
the students and staff cook a feast and sit down
for a Thanksgiving feast. Each person must say
what they are grateful for.....most of the
students say BRIDGE! |
|
BRIDGE students have
many opportunities to work with the community.
Pictured above, the students are working with an
artist from the Community Art Center developing
the Labyrinth Project of Hancock's Waterfront! |

Students are given the opportunity to
participate in Michigan Tech’s Challenge
Course. The BRIDGE staff and students spent
four hours together getting to know each other
and “sharing ideas, expectations and goals while
building trust and facing a variety of physical,
emotional and mental challenges.

Building Project: As often as we can, we try to
bring in the "Applied Process!" The students,
Bill Rivest, Career Tech Director, and Ed
Semmens, Maintenance/Bus Driver, built a storage
shed. |
|
Classes at BRIDGE are kept small (10-15
students), so students receive more
individualized help. |
