There was no short supply of school spirit this week as students at Brighton School participated in house sorting! 🐻💫
We got to see ALL the excitement as students received their assignments, making a commitment to embody the unique and positive qualities of their houses throughout the year! 🎉❤️ We can't wait to see the camaraderie, energy, and growth the house system will generate among the Bears!

Our students have been hard at work learning all about the Zones of Regulation in counseling! 🧠
Our K–2 students got hands-on with play-dough to sculpt and express different emotions, while our 3rd–5th graders put their creativity on display by designing their own Zones posters.
A big shoutout to our CARES Specialist, Mrs. Holly, for leading insightful Zones lessons with our 4th and 5th graders!
We love seeing our students build such great emotional awareness and self-regulation skills! #ZonesOfRegulation #Counseling

We’re sharing our final JEFCOED Journeys as the school year gets underway! Thank you for sharing your summer adventures with us! ☀️🤩
🗺️ The Goodwins traveled to McMinnville, Tennessee, where they explored Cumberland Caverns!
📚 Kaitlyn and Chance attend Oak Grove High School!
🐶 Ms. Kimberly Carter and her dog, Eros, took a day trip to hike through Cheaha State Park in the Talladega National Forest!
📚 Ms. Carter is a Local Reading Specialist at U.W. Clemon Elementary School!
🚗 Tabitha, Luke, and Noah Powell explored the Ark Encounter! They say 7.5 hours in the car to Corinth, Kentucky was worth it!
📚 The Powell kiddos attend Bagley Elementary School!
✨ And it looks like Miss Sariyah had one full summer! She enjoyed visiting Great Wolf Lodge, Bubble Planet, Museum of Illusion, and Atlantic Station. Sariyah also rode in the caboose of a train, made a food review video of macarons and bonbons, and stopped by the viral Yonutz Donuts and Ice Cream. Locally, she got her first manicure and nail set, found a rainbow, went to Chick-Fil-A Cow Day, visited splash pads, attended a concert, watched fireworks, attended summer camp, and went to cheer practice! 📣👏 Love it!
📚 Sariyah attends Center Point Elementary and her grandmother, Ms. Owens, teaches ESL at Brighton School!
