They conquer who believe they can. Ralph Waldo Emerson Despite four days of rainy weather our annual carnival still raised over $4,500.00 for our school. When the weather cooperated everyone enjoyed the rides, games, food and fun. Our students and families had such a great time we hope to do it again next year! (more pictures on pages 10 &11)

Page 10 Volume 10, Issue 1 2004 SPRING FLING GOOD CLEAN FUN! Taking a spin on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Roaring around on the Dragon Coaster. Racing down the Big Slide. Hanging out with friends and throwing darts for big prizes. Waiting to get wiped out on the Wipeout. A little Bridge School driver s education on the Bumper Cars.
Bridge Bugle Page 11 SPRING FLING A leap of faith in the Castle. A brave soul dares to take on the Bungee Jump. Throwing rings on bottles for big prizes. It s harder than it looks! A little informal security to watch over the festivities. Thank You! To all the teachers, staff, parents, former students and community members who so graciously donated their time and volunteered to help make our carnival the best yet. Great people make great schools!
