Yesterday was one of those days that reminded us exactly what it means to be part of Bridgeport.
When there was work to be done, people simply showed up.
At Wayne Jamison Field, our community came together with our student-athletes, coaches, parents, and volunteers to clean, disinfect, and prepare the facilities and turf. Some brought equipment. Others brought cleaning supplies and food. Many gave hours of their time and a whole lot of hard work.
The result is something we are especially grateful for: because of the tremendous effort to clean and sanitize the facility, our student-athletes will be able to get back on the turf today for practice.
And that same spirit of service was happening inside our school.
Our staff and teachers joined county maintenance workers and custodians to do whatever was needed to help prepare our building so we could welcome our students back to school today. There was a lot to accomplish, and people stepped in without hesitation.
To every person who cleaned a room, moved equipment, sanitized a space, donated supplies or food, operated equipment, worked on the grounds, or helped in any other way: thank you.
What happened yesterday wasn't simply a cleanup effort. It was people taking care of one another, taking care of our students, and taking care of places that mean so much to this community.
Today, our students are back in the building and our athletes are getting back on the field because a lot of people were willing to do whatever it took to make that happen.
We see you. We appreciate you. And from all of us at Bridgeport High School, we say THANK YOU!
Roll Tribe!!
