Morning Extended
Day: If anyone
intends to use the morning extended day please let the office know. We need to
know how many children to anticipate each day. Unless it can be
self-supporting, we cannot continue to offer it.
SAFETY:
- Morning
drop-off:
Please do not park your car and walk your child into school. Parents are not
permitted to enter the school in the morning because it causes confusion and is
a danger to the children as we would not be able to control who is entering the
school building. We endeavor to keep
ALL the children safe. This
is why the building is locked and visitors must ring the front door and be
admitted after being identified. We cannot emphsize enough the need to control
who enters and leaves our school building. You know what it is to keep track of
one or two children, imagine trying to keep track of three hundred. We thank
you for your positive response to this request.

PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN PROGRAM: Attention all new volunteers
If you recently
volunteered in any ministry involving working with children or the elderly
(i.e. ushers, lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Rel. Ed. Teachers, Pancake
Breakfast worker, etc) or if you recently joined an organization that meets in
the school hall during school hours (i.e. school volunteers, Young at Heart Members,
Parish Purls, etc.) you are mandated by the Archdiocese of Boston to take this
program. St. Bridget’s Parish will be offering two sessions of this program,
the first on Thursday,
Oct. 4th, 7-10p and the second will be held on Saturday, Oct. 13th, 9a
in St. Bridget’s School Hall. If you
have taken this program, you will not need to take it again. To register,
please call Maria Cole at the Rectory (508)875-5959.
Junior Achievement
- Our school will once again participate in the JA program for grades 4-8 this
year. It is time to send out a "call for volunteers". If
you are not familiar with the program you may visit their website at www.ja.org . From their
website: "Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization
dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness, and
financial literacy through experiential, hands-on
programs." In short, we ask volunteer parents to come into
classrooms and using a ready made "kit", provided by
JA, guide the students through the program. The teacher stays in the
classroom, but the volunteer runs the program. Parents and students alike
have loved the program and the unique opportunity it presents. To
volunteer you do not need any teaching experience
just enthusiasm. The kits have everything you will
need. The time commitment is approximately 30 min prep time and
45 min in the classroom. The program will start in January and
will run 5 weeks for 4th and 5th grade, and 6 weeks for the middle
school. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Mary Ann
Sager at masager5@yahoo.com or
508-872-4989 as soon as possible.
Jr. CYO- The Jr.
CYO group will have it's first meeting on Sa.t 10/29th, after the 4;00
