From Parents:
"My son has attention deficit disorder. By the time he was 8 years old, he had been to 4 different schools, and was very angry and frustrated. He went from being a wonderful, happy and cheerful little boy to being angry, frustrated and couldn't look people in the eye. He started telling me he was stupid and would cry every day. I was at my rope's end. I saw an ad in the yellow pages for Bridges Academy, and called them.
By the third day (at Bridges) he got in the car and smiled and said "I like this school, I'm staying". After that, he started opening up, regaining his self-confidence and returning to his old self. He stayed at Bridges for five years, and got very good grades, made friends, loved the teachers, and has become a very self-confident young man.
He is currently taking all Advanced Placement classes in high school. When he begins college, he will have enough credits to be a sophomore.

"My son not only went through high school, but he finished his Masters Degree last year. His thesis was honored and he bas been accepted to do his PH.D. in Canada. All this was because my wife and I made the decision to enroll my son in the Bridges Academy." (proud parents)
"This is her chance to have an equal opportunity to learn." (parent)
Mr. & Mrs. Tom Warren, and Tom Warren Jr.
It is my pleasure to donate toward the down payment for a new facility.
My son, Tom Warren Jr., has grown to be a wonderful man, husband and father. Bridges gets much of the credit for the person he is now, his years at Bridges Academy were the best of his schools years. The Academy has given him many useful tools to use throughout his life. I wish bridges had gone through 12th grade when he was there.
I and my family wish you all the very best. I hope your fundraising efforts will exceed your expectations.
(signed) A very grateful family.
