Art  - 6th graders learn basic drawing skills as well as concepts of design and color.  Strong emphasis is placed on the development of creative thinking; 7th graders use problem solving skills that are learned through two-dimensional and three dimensional works of art.  Students refine basic skills learned in 6th grade.  Shading skills are developed and media and materials are explored; 8th grade students combine elements of art and principles off design to create artwork.  All skills are refined and the process of art criticism is applied.  Art history is explored through various projects.

Band  (Mr. Larry Virtue)- Band instruction in at Bridgeport Middle School will emphasize the preparation of students for eventual entry into the high school program.  Students who like additional challenge may audition for placement into the All County Cadet Band in the wintertime.  All students will participate in the annual spring concert (usually in May), and there will be some performing at assemblies, and at the Educational Fair.  We also have a jazz band that performs at the annual Lincoln High School Jazz Band Festival as well as at the spring concert.

Music (Mrs. Evelyn Miller) - 6th graders concentrate on the notes in treble clef and orchestra instruments; 7th graders spend time learning about treble and bass clef along with in-depth study of the instruments; 8th graders concentrate on Mozart and Beethoven.  All classes learn the music symbols.  Choir is available during AA for those students interested in singing.

Health (Ms. Rita Scheick, Mr. Al Lanzy) - Middle School Teen Health: "...Students learn that good health habits can prevent illness and accidents.  As a motivating factor, they also learn that these good habits can improve the way they look, the way they perform in school, the way they interact with others, and the way they feel about themselves."

Physical Education (Mr. Al Lanzy, Ms. Rita Scheick) -  The PE team of teachers emphasize stretching, calisthenics, and various team sports, such as volleyball, basketball, rag ball, kickball, etc.  The lead up drills are conducted in all sports.
