Also in this episode, a look at some amazing artwork currently on display in Hayden Hall created by one of Stanbridge's sophomores; an international tour of holiday foods from around the world (goose and oysters...mmmmm); and an exclusive interview with new staff member Harriet Mukisa, who shares her highlights of Stanbridge so far. All this and more in the latest webisode from Stanbridge Academy's most trusted news source!
 Season's Greetings and Holiday Thank Yous to all of the Stanbridge families and staff members who have donated gifts to this year's Family Giving Tree donation drive. Dozens of holiday wishes will be fulfilled for families in need throughout the Bay Area thanks to your generosity. If you still would like to participate, there are still a few Wish List tags hanging on the tree in Hayden Hall—perhaps you can be the Secret Santa who gives someone a reason to smile this season. Tuesday is the final day of our donation drive before the junior high students and teachers load up the Stanbridge sleigh and head to the FGT Warehouse this Thursday, where they will personally deliver all of the collected items.

Thank you for visiting the Stanbridge Academy Bridge Blog! We hope you stop by regularly to check for the latest school news, features, updates, and highlights, but there's more to our social media outreach than the posts on this blog. Stanbridge maintains an active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest, where we not only post school news and features, but also highlight stories of interest for our community. A perfect example is the article below shared on our Facebook page, which profiles Kalin Bennett, an autistic basketball player recruited by Kent State. Check out his story, and be sure to like, share, and check back for more throughout the year!
