After School Enrichment:
Beginning in January, and scheduled directly after school, the
Bridlemile PTA offers Bridlemile students a fun, diverse, 8-week series
of enrichment classes. From
soft sculpture to engineering, from choir to computer technology, the
classes offered represent broad areas of interest.
Subsidized primarily by the PTA and Run for the Arts funds, cost
of the classes is modest. Instructors
include Bridlemile teachers, professional artists, OMSI staff and
talented parent volunteers. Classes
are filled on first come, first serve basis. Financial assistance is
available to all students who require it. Look for more information in
your November Friday Flyers! For
contact information see

Bridlemile Community Auction:
The Bridlemile School Community Auction has become one of the
highlights of the school year. Our auction brings together almost
300 parents, teachers, and friends. The best part of the auction
is that the proceeds are used at Bridlemile to help keep class sizes
small. All classes at Bridlemile get involved by making their own
projects, which are highly sought after. The success of the auction is clearly a reflection of the
hard work of the many volunteers.
