The Bridges Academy is committed to teaching our students the value of giving back to the community. We plan a series of activities for all ages throughout the school year to give our students the opportunity to do community outreach projects.

Many of our community outreach events are in conjunction with our Parents’ Association.

Over $300 will be donated to UNICEF Hurricane Dorian Relief from part of the Trunk or Treat proceeds.
