✨ STUDENT HIGHLIGHT ✨

This month, we are proud to celebrate Isaiah Falcon, a senior at Bridge Academy whose presence has left a lasting impact on everyone around him.

Isaiah is the kind of student who walks into a room and instantly changes the energy. His positivity is contagious, his spirit is uplifting, and his ability to bring people together is something truly special. Whether he’s encouraging his peers, stepping into leadership roles, or simply showing up with kindness and confidence, Isaiah leads in every sense of the word.

In the absence of Choir Director Mr. Fernandez, Isaiah stepped up to help co-lead the choir with maturity, passion, and dedication. That level of leadership speaks volumes about his character and the trust that his teachers and peers have in him.

As Isaiah prepares for his next chapter at Porter and Chester Institute, we celebrate not only the impact that mentors and teachers have had on him, but also the impact he has had on all of us. Students like Isaiah remind us why relationships matter. He has become a leader, role model, and light within our school community, and he will truly be missed by his teachers, mentors, and peers alike.

Isaiah, thank you for the joy, leadership, and energy you’ve brought into our community. Your future is bright, and we cannot wait to see all that you accomplish.

Just a quick recap… 👀🏀

Our Bridge vs. Bassick Basketball Tournament was such a powerful experience for our students. Bringing two schools together in one space created opportunities for connection, encouragement, healthy competition, teamwork, and community.

Events like this give students the chance to build relationships outside of their everyday environments, support one another, challenge themselves, and simply enjoy positive experiences together. From the energy in the gym to everyone coming together afterward to share a meal, the entire day was filled with laughter, unity, and memorable moments.

This is exactly why we love creating experiences like these for our youth. ❤️

And this is only the beginning… Full highlights, student moments, behind-the-scenes footage, and more detailed tournament videos are coming soon 👀🔥

🏀🔥 THE CITY’S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. 🔥🏀

Tomorrow, Elevate Bridgeport officially teams up with the Wakeman Boys & Girls Club, and we are beyond excited to bring one of our students’ MOST anticipated events of the year to the Wakeman Boys & Girls Club-Smilow-Burroughs Clubhouse… the Annual Bassick vs. Bridge Academy Basketball Tournament. 👀🔥

All year long, students build excitement for this moment. The rivalry, the school pride, the competitive energy, the trash talk, the teamwork, the memories. This is more than a game. It’s one of those experiences students talk about long after the final buzzer sounds.

What makes Elevate different is that our teachers and mentors don’t just stand on the sidelines… they step directly into the experience WITH our students. Tomorrow, our teacher mentors will hit the court as players representing each school, while the legendary Mr. McCullough takes over as referee. 🏀🔥

We’re incredibly grateful to Wakeman Boys & Girls Club-Smilow-Burroughs Clubhouse for opening their doors and helping create an afternoon centered around mentorship, connection, competition, school spirit, and community.

Bridgeport… it’s game time. 😤🏀🔥

There were tears before prom even started.

Not because of the makeup…
but because parents were seeing their daughters light up with confidence, joy, and happiness right in front of them.

This prom season, Elevate Bridgeport tagged in local makeup artist Gisela as part of our campaign to help make prom feel extra special for a few of our students ✨

And what she gave them was so much bigger than glam.

She gave them a moment to feel seen.
Celebrated.
Beautiful.
Special.

You could feel how much this meant not only to the students, but to their families too.

These are the kinds of moments students remember forever 🤍

Thank you, Gisela, for pouring love and intention into every student you touched.
