This holiday season looks different all over the world this year, but we're in good cheer at Bright. We have changed some of our traditions to be safer this year.
Students are wearing festive Christmas attire this week. Monday through Thursday they are wearing holiday shirts with uniform bottoms and all kinds of jingle jangly accessories like headbands, hats, necklaces and socks.
Santa is Coming!
Instead of the traditional Christmas assembly with singing and Santa's arrival on Friday. Santa will visit the school and wave to all the students while sitting on the porch of the log cabin. Students will participate in a Jingle Jog around the track so they can see Santa. Kindergarten and fifth grade buddies will have their traditional photos taken with Santa (at a distance, of course.) 
Decorations
Fifth graders made ornaments in art and shop classes that will be displayed on a tree in the office. Thank you to PA Decorations Chair Debbie Harris for decorating the school for the holidays!
Grade-Level Gatherings
First grade watched The Nutcracker video today instead of watching the Chattanooga Ballet performance at the Tivoli. Kindergarten will watch The Polar Express movie on Thursday and enjoy hot chocolate.
