A huge thank you to Mrs. Gil and Mrs. Garrison for planning such an awesome visit to celebrate the final day of Hispanic Heritage Month! We were thrilled to welcome Mr. Mays and the Pinson Valley High School Mariachi Band to Brighton School. The band performed fantastic selections for our school, and they even brought the music right to the crowd—stepping into the audience so our students could get an up-close look at their instruments. It was an incredible, memorable experience for everyone involved! 🎶

🖤NATIONAL PRINCIPALS MONTH SHOUT-OUT!

Listen up, 'Rismo family! October is National Principal’s Month, and you already know Altruismo had to make some serious noise for one of their very own members of the GIVER house—Brighton School’s exceptional principal, Mrs. Aisha Bryant!

Mrs. Bryant embodies everything it means to wear the House of Altruismo crest. Day in and day out, she leads with unwavering passion, fierce dedication, and a heart full of generosity. She doesn't just manage a school; she builds a community where students thrive, staff feel supported, and every single day is driven by purpose and joy.

Whether she’s making big moves for Brighton School or bringing that electric Altruismo spirit and energy, Mrs. Bryant shows us all what true leadership and selflessness look like in action.

To Mrs. Bryant: Thank you for giving your all to your students, your staff, and your House. We are beyond proud to call you a member of Altruismo, Brighton School, and Jefferson County!

Drop some black hearts in the comments and help us celebrate Mrs. Aisha Bryant!

Year after year, Brighton School's Hispanic Heritage Festival shines a light on Hispanic culture, bringing families front and center to celebrate and share their heritage. ❤️

This year, among the touching and educational booths, there was a beautiful memorial video honoring Brighton's own Bobbie Clum Jimenez. Mrs. Bobbie served as a paraprofessional at Brighton and was a pillar of the community and at the school. Her impact was celebrated during Friday's festival, and will live on through the countless lives she touched at Brighton and beyond. To read more about Mrs. Bobbie and to view her tribute video, you can head to Brighton's Facebook page. 💛🐻 Thank you to each educator and family who made Friday's event possible!
