Supporting the Arts
There are many (and very inexpensive) ways to help support the art program at Bridgman Elementary School!
Become an Art Angel: We are always collecting various items such as paper towel tubes, empty butter containers, and even newspapers. If you have something unusual to share, don't hesitate to ask!
Donate empty printer cartridges or cell phones: There is a box in the school lobby for these, or just send them to the art room. Every empty printer cartridge we turn we earn points. We then can redeem points for technology in the art room. Last year we were able to "purchase" a new digital camera and a video camera for the art room (and student use!).
Participate in the Annual Square 1 Art Fundraiser: Each spring students create a piece of work for our fundraiser. If the work is completed on time (and plenty time is allotted), the work is placed on a magnet. If you choose, that same piece of work can be put on other items such as coffee mugs, ornaments or t-shirts. More information will sent home as the fundraiser draws near.
Kindergarten through fourth grade students explore the French language and the cultures who speak it throughout the world. Students are assessed twice a year based on growth in three areas: speaking skills, listening skills and cultural knowledge. Third and fourth graders also are assessed on their writing skills in French.
