Bristol-Warren Gym Teacher Recognized As A Community Leader

BRISTOL-WARREN, RI — Without community leaders, Bristol-Warren wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Julia Saulino, a Bristol-Warren reader who nominated Tracy Earl.
