There will be activities every day to learn about different cultures represented at Bright School, and students and parents have chances to earn tickets throughout the week for a chance to win a prize. Parents are encouraged to attend P.E. class and lunch with students. For more information on how to earn tickets, click here. If you need extra tickets, click here.

Students may wear Bright World shirts with uniform bottoms this Friday.

Plan now to attend Bright World Night on April 12 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the gym. You will get to sample food and cultural activities represented by our families.

A new Bright World activity this year is the Feed BRITE Walk-a-thon that benefits a school in Haiti called BRITE (Building Relief Internationally Through Education). We ask that students raise a maximum of $10 each to participate in the walk-a-thon during P.E. class on Thursday, April 11.

Many students at BRITE walk an average of 20-30 minutes to school each day, and $10 is the amount needed to feed one student over the summer months. Money is due the day of the walk-a-thon. Please see this flyer and form for more information.

Today is another track meet (weather permitting). The next meets will be April 15 and 23. April 29 will be a rain date if necessary. Due to these meets, our Bright Afternoons pick-up routine will change. 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. 

**A notification will be sent to parents of students on the track team to let you know if the meet today is canceled. This decision will likely be made by 1 p.m.**

Our spring gardening day is scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. This is a new date. 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 April 24. Thank you!

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.

Prior to the sale, students are selling Krispy Kreme donuts for $10 a box. Please use this form to pre-order the donuts, and return it to the office with payment by April 17. Donuts will be delivered on April 25.

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

This is a busy time of year, so stay updated with what's going on by visiting our website or checking Facebook or Instagram.
