Trickster Theater Residency

We are very excited to have Trickster Theater coming to Bridlewood School on Dec. 11 to 15. During this residency, classes will be working with artists. Shows are developed based on an improvisation process to develop movement and dialogue. In order for this residency to be a success we will be asking for parent volunteers during this week. Please look for an email with a Sign Up Genius coming soon.

School Travel Planning-Active and Safe Schools

Bridlewood School is partnering with Ever Active Schools: School Travel Planning this year. The purpose of this partnership is to identify ways to promote more students walking and cycling to school and to identify barriers that prevent families from doing so. Ever Active Schools will have a short residency at our school after the November break. They will be working with the grade six teachers and classes to initiate this work through observation and data collection. Stay tuned for more updates.

Please take a moment to fill out this survey to provide Ever Active Schools with some baseline data:
