As 2019 comes to a close, I want everyone to know how deeply grateful I am for all you have done for Bright School this year. Not only have you given generously of your time and treasure, but you have helped to build a joyful and caring spirit in our community. Our children deserve no less.
I'm also thrilled that we've been able to renovate our first, second, and third grade classrooms and hallways as part of our "Building a Bright Future" campaign. Our next phase this summer will address the needs of our fourth and fifth grades as well as some of our special area classrooms. I've been so heartened by the generosity of our donors, helping us raise $2.7 million toward a goal of $4 million, all in less than a year! As we move closer to that goal, which I invite everyone to support, we'll then be able to begin work on the gym and library. My dream before I retire at the end of next year is that we hand over to new leadership a Bright School at the top of its game. To get the best, we need to be the best.
