Thanks to continued support from the Office of Public Safety, Bridge Way's Summer of Recovery is pressing on with
🪩DANCE💥 & here's why:
A big part of recovery is that it is an *on going* effort, one that is never done alone. When we move together, we increase felt safety. In the spirit of "Move your body; Boost your mood", Bridge Way creates opportunities for discovery of exercise & fitness that is social, creative, and physical. 🎉

Thank you to Deborah and Beverly at Philly Dance Fitness for teaching our community! Shout Outs to Staff Chaperones Mama Sadio and Certified Recovery Specialist Miss Amber.

At Bridge Way (and in life), recovery isn't contained to an academic classroom; as part of our ⛱️Summer of Recovery ⛱️our students had an afternoon of boxing lessons at Boxing on Broad 🥊

Research suggests that boxing is not only an activity of physical wellness but a sound mental health intervention. Boxing provides a vehicle to regulate emotions, engage in breathwork, stay mindful, release anger safely, and establish control over the body.

We encourage our youth in recovery to try boxing not only for their physical health, but also for their healing! 💫

The Bridge Way School, "Learning on the Road to Recovery" 🌸

06/15/2026

Our 2026 Graduating class received their high school diplomas on Friday and we couldn't be more proud to celebrate and share their success with our community! 🎓🎓

Thank you Rep. Joanna McClinton for modeling the positive reverberations of resilience and delivering The Bridge Way School’s 2026 commencement address. We also extend our gratitude to The Bridge Way School’s African Drum and Dance ensemble for performing during the recessional.

This milestone is certainly not a "given"; our students worked hard and never quit...They committed to completing a journey that could just as easily ended in not doing. Their resilience is in the fortitude and perseverance they have shown to complete their graduation requirements, push forward on their journeys of recovery, and walk as high school graduates🌸.
