Bright Value Learner(s)

Our creative learners of the month had a blast during their breakfast celebration! It was well deserved and such a special time for them to spend together. Shout out to Ms. Bowie for ensuring that we had all of the supplies we needed to make it happen! Students received a continental breakfast, Raising Cane's gift certificate, yard sign, printed certificate, and YACS swag! Check them out!

Our LADY WILDCAT VOLLEYBALL team really did shine B.R.I.G.H.T. this past weekend! They took home a big win, with back-to-back game wins with scores of 8-25 and 12-25 for each respective game against Homer Plessy.
