Together with the help of our generous partners BridgePointe hosted a drive through appreciation event for East Providence K-5 teachers and administrators. It feels good to remember that we have community and support to give each other no matter what is going on.

Teachers came to BridgePointe for a drive-through event where they received a boxed lunch from Miller’s Roast Beef, a care bag with goodies and a Chick-Fil-A gift card, a Townie Teacher T-Shirt, pizza from Sax’s served by the Mayor and lots of cheers and honks from decked out BP Kids family cars and trucks.

Some teachers cried, one teacher got out of her car and did a little dance, and the smiles on their faces when they drove away cheered our hearts. This is a time of distancing and less social interaction, but we’re still human and need each other. We’ve all relied on our teachers to get our kids through the end of the school year. The simple act of saying thanks to them brought BP families and partnering organizations together and lifted everyone’s spirits. Thanks to everyone for cheering on the teachers and making today possible!
