Building Bridges, Building Community

Do you know what happened when local 5th graders were given:

  1. 100 popsicle sticks,

  2. some white glue,

  3. strong science classroom instruction, and

  4. a boost of expertise from local design & engineering firms?

Building Bridges 2015 happened, that’s what! The event took place at Forestview Middle School this past Monday evening with over 600 people in attendance. Check out this crowd!              

Students, parents, & community members carefully examined bridges in the Aesthetic Category before casting their vote:

Bridges 221

This event is one of our favorites each year & such a fun way for our community to come together to raise awareness of the “bridges” we are building for families every day at Bridges of Hope to fulfill our mission:

To build bridges of support, anchored in Christ’s love, between families in the Lakes Area and the community assets that can help them thrive & gain hope.

That is good stuff. And, we couldn’t do it without the cooperation & support of ISD 181, Mr. Danielson, Ms. Knutson, Mr. Trout, Mrs. Harrison, and these incredible sponsors:
