Bridges to a Brighter Future 2006 has gotten to a tremendous start! The older students checked in on Saturday, and quickly went to a leadership/goal setting workshop with Mrs. Swartz and Miss Turza. Things went really well, as the group playing a "Goal Gameshow", and learned how to set realistic goals for their summer as well as their lives. They went on for the rest of Saturday and most of Sunday writing in their journals and getting reacquainted with the program and each other. Needless to say it was a great success! Sunday morning, the Kappa class moved in and the Thetas and Iotas helped them move in and get settled using a new mentor program, where every older student is paired with a Kappa. The new students are great, and they've already fit into the Bridges program extraordinarily well. More on Sunday's activities and the first day of class later!
Bridges to a Brighter Future is a nationally awarded comprehensive college access and success program for Greenville County, South Carolina high school and college students whose potential outdistances their circumstances. Bridges engages students in an intensive seven-year program that begins after ninth grade and ends at college graduation.
