Lunar New Year Celebration (In-School Assembly)
Tuesday, January 28
9-10am (6th-8th) / 10-11am (K-5th)
Brighton PTO is sponsoring a Lunar New Year Celebration for our K-8 students. The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is one of the most significant celebrations in many Asian cultures, symbolizing new beginnings, prosperity, and good fortune. To commemorate this auspicious occasion, we have organized an assembly featuring the mesmerizing Mak Tai Chinese Lion Dance performance (www.makfailiondance.com). Lion dances are a traditional part of Lunar New Year festivities, believed to bring luck and ward off evil spirits. Mak Fai's talented lion dance team will dazzle and entertain the audience with their colorful costumes, intricate choreography, and energetic movements. Following the assembly, we will invite students to choose festive treats or stickers and bring home a li xi containing a chocolate gold coin and bookmark.
Our Lunar New Year Chair Marcella Tran is looking for a couple parent volunteers for each assembly. Please email her at treasurer@brightonpto.com if you are available to help. Thank You!

Call for Volunteers!
Community Events Volunteers Needed: Our community events chair had to step back and we are in IMMEDIATE NEED of a couple brave volunteers to step in. We are looking for volunteers to lead or co-lead:
- PARENTS PARTY in March, and
- SPRING FLING school dance at the Nile Shrine Golf Course on March 29.
We also still need leads (or co-leads if you can wrangle a buddy) for the SPRING CULTURAL FAIR and the END-OF-YEAR ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC. These events will not happen if we are not able to find volunteers. If you are interested in helping at these events, but are not able to chair them, please reach out. Someone else may step up and lead if they learn they have a team of volunteers to support them.
Please contact us at info@brightonpto.com.
New this year, the PTO is providing each grade with funds to help pay for a gathering of YOUR choosing. We hope this will help build community among your fellow class families. This can be used towards a student party, family picnic, or parent social. If you have ideas on a fun gathering, contact your Class Coordinator or email the PTO and we will put you in touch.

December Enrichment
Brighton's preschool students enjoyed Al Hirsch, a folk singer, storyteller, and puppeteer. The kids got to sing & dance and had a great time. Thank you ECE Enrichment Coordinator Ketra Marker for organizing!
*Remember, this and other enrichment programs are arranged by fellow PTO parent volunteers & paid for using your PTO donations. None of these activities happen without YOU.
