Parents: We hope to see you Friday evening at the Edwin Hotel, where we will unveil our very exciting plans for the future.

The event is 6-7:30 p.m., and the dress is festive cocktail attire. Enjoy hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and music. (This is an adult-only event.)

Tomorrow is another track meet with one more to go on April 29. Bright Afternoons pick-up will be held on the concourse. Please reference the photo below for the flow of traffic. When you enter the school parking lot, please have your  green name sign visible on your dashboard  and ready to inform our Bright School parking attendants that you will need to pick up from Bright Afternoons. Proceed to the front of the concourse area to pick up your child. Our Bright Afternoons staff will call for your child and bring the tablet to your car for you to enter your parent code. There will be no parking available on campus during the track meet, so plan to stay in the car as you drive up. 

The annual fifth grade bake sale is April 25. Students from each grade will have a chance to visit the sale and purchase sweets. The bake sale raises money for the fifth grade gift to the school. If you would like your child to support the sale, send in cash with your child. Most items are 50 cents to a few dollars.

If you ordered Krispy Kreme donuts in advance, you will receive those that day as you indicated on your form.

Proceeds from the sale go toward the fifth grade's gift to the school that is announced at graduation.

Our spring gardening day is scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. We will offer drinks and pizza for all of our wonderful volunteers! If you would like to make a donation to the gardens, we are in need of tomato, cucumber, and squash seedlings, along with any herbs. If you plan to volunteer during our garden day and/or would like to contribute to our garden with the needed plants, please RSVP to Mr. Greene at  [email protected] by tomorrow. Thank you!

Summer activity packets will be sent home with your child today. Please review the contents and store the envelope in a safe place. If you are interested in ordering a Summer Skills book for your child, complete and return the form with payment by May 3. If you have any questions about summer reading requirements, please contact Assistant Head of School Christy Lusk at [email protected].

Take us out to the ballgame! The Parents' Association is planning a Bright Family outing to the Lookouts baseball game on Saturday, May 11. Gates open at 6 p.m. Dinner is served from 6:15-7:45 p.m. First pitch is at 7:15 p.m.

Tickets of $22 a person include picnic buffet and a seat at the game. This form and money are due by Friday, May 3.

The annual Bright School Picnic is May 17. There is no school that day. Instead, students of all grades and their families spend the morning at Cross Creek Farm in Ringgold, Georgia, for fun games, races, and food. It is always a favorite day for students! The action begins at 9 a.m., so please arrive between 8:30 and 9 a.m. to get a good spot along the race area. Bring chairs, blankets and cold water, if you like. Lunch will be served after the races. Tickets are complimentary for fifth graders, and their families. Otherwise, it is $5 a person, paid by May 10. Please see this information sheet and payment form.

Make your child's summer a Bright summer! Registration for Bright Days, our summer program for early learners, is open. Bright Days is open to girls and boys age 3 (by August 1) through rising third graders. For all the details, visit the Bright Days website.
