Bridge Point Elementary School has created a holiday trail so students can celebrate the holiday season while following social distancing protocols.
The new tradition is being organized by the school’s Booster Club on the fitness trail where each class has decorated a section with a combination of handmade ornaments and those brought from home.
After decorating the trail for several days, each class had the chance to view the final results, and the decorations will be left up over the winter break so families and community members can visit the trail.
Jayme Tirres, co-president of the Booster Club, said the idea behind the holiday trail was to give the students a chance to be creative and make room for celebration in a year when all of the club’s other events have been canceled because of the pandemic.
