Principal's
Message

  •  Greetings Bridlemile Community,

     
    I am both excited and honored to have been selected as your principal for this 2020-21 school year. It has been such a pleasure meeting staff, students, families and stakeholders of this great community.
     
    As we embark upon this school year, there are many challenges that we face with our country being in a declared pandemic with Covid-19 as well as a state of racial equity and social justice tension that has brought attention to the division of our country. 
     
    Although these challenges exist, I am confident that the Bridlemile community will stand strong and resilient as we all come together to do what is necessary as it comes to the education of our youth, even in this comprehensive distance learning environment. 
     
    We all share a common goal and responsibility to both teach and be examples of what it means to be racially equitable and diverse in our thoughts, actions and beliefs. The success of our community depends on it and we must be willing to do all that we can to ensure that it remains a reality.
     
    Already, I have witnessed this community come together in ways that I couldn't have imagined in showing acts of love. I have witnessed a staff that has the ability to press through these trying times and give everything that they have to provide the best possible education to their students. I have witnessed an unwavering excitement about this school year from the wonderful students of Bridlemile Elementary.
     
    So I write this message to you Bridlemile with the affirmed belief that no matter what challenges we face, no matter what difficulties are before us, together we can do anything, together we will succeed and together we will grow. 
     
    Throughout this year, always remember to Smile Bridlemile! 
     
    Sincerely, 
     
    Your Principal- Jerome Townsend
