Wonderful new beginnings underway at Brighton School! 🌟🐻

The first day of Kindergarten Camp was full of excitement, with students taking a tour of their school, participating in math and reading lessons, and even enjoying recess! The school year hasn’t even started yet, and already, these students are taking big steps forward. The future is looking BRIGHT for these soon-to-be kindergartners! 👏

Students are feeling stylish and confident after a visit from local nonprofit: ‘So Fresh & So Clean Haircuts 4 Youth’! 💈🤩 The organization recently visited Brighton School, Pleasant Grove Elementary School, and Hueytown Intermediate School, where they mentored students and provided them with free haircuts! We want to say a big thank you to each barber and volunteer who made this special day possible, as well as to Representative Patrick Sellers for connecting our district with this wonderful organization!
