The carnival is back! We are looking forward to seeing everyone there.

It is free to attend and trick or treat. All are welcome and costumes are encouraged!

If you choose to participate in the Carnival Games or purchase concession food, you will need tickets.

We will have 8 Carnival Games, Balloon Animals, Glitter tattoos, concession stands and food trucks for dinner and dessert (food trucks take cash/card - you don't need tickets for those).

Purchase Tickets and more info click here

Our hard-working 8th graders will be having a Pumpkin Patch and Bake sale fundraiser at the carnival. 100% of proceeds go to the 8th grade trip to Washington DC! You can use cash or credit - no tickets needed.

We've had some great activities for our students in September and October. See pictures below. Next up in November is Early Childhood Education's visit from Imagine Children's Museum.

Purchasing tickets and ways to help!

If you purchase your tickets before November 1st, you will be entered in a drawing to win a free night stay at Embassy Suites (that can be used the night of the auction if you'd like!).

ALSO - did you know you can bring family and friends? The more the merrier!

Don't forget that for Brighton families, child-care is included with your ticket but there are a limited number of spots available. Purchase your ticket now to reserve your spot.

Not sure how you can contribute to the Auction? We are looking for people to host things like dinner parties, ladies' margarita night, poker night, cooking classes, and any other ideas you have! These are silent auction items that are capped at a certain number of people and go for a flat price and are always a big hit! Please reach out to brightonauction@gmail.com if you might be interested!

We have teamed up with Amazon Smile, Minted, and Scrip where a portion of your purchases come back to the school. It's an easy way to support Brighton while doing your regular shopping!

Minted - receive 20% off your order and 15% will go toward the Brighton PTO (use code FUNDRAISEBRIGHTON)

Scrip - Purchase Scrip gift cards and use them while doing your shopping or vacation planning. A portion of the amount comes back to Brighton (up to 15%) but you get the full value of the card. Hundreds of brands are available, including Nordstrom's (4%), Macy's (10%), Total Wine and More brick & mortar (7%), Harry & David (12%), various hotels (Fairmont, Westin, Marriott, Hyatt, Sheraton, Hilton or Airbnb, (2-9%)), Southwest (3%) and Delta Airlines (4%), Target (2.5%), and so many more!

After a several year hiatus we are starting up the directory again. Parents must opt-IN by completing the form with the contact information to be included in the directory. If parents don't complete the form, the child's name will appear with their class but no contact information.

Fill out the form to be included in an All-School Directory: here

Option for a keepsake printed version, which includes a cover designed by a Brighton 4th Grader and a Brighton Calendar. Proceeds from this will go towards our Enrichment activities (in particular, our Lunar New Year celebration in January). Suggested donation is a $10 minimum. PURCHASE HERE

Wow! The Book Fair brought it $17,500 with roughly 50% going back to the teachers to buy books for their classrooms.

Special thanks to Molly Hock for putting this on!
