A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR KIDS AT BRIGHTON ACADEMY 
When a school promises a “safe, clean, age appropriate environment” governed by a philosophy of “learning through play and discovery”, you would expect nothing short of a first class playground to match their top notch curriculum. That’s certainly the case with Brighton Academy, a private school serving the community of The Woodlands, Texas. When school officials began planning improvements to Brighton Academy’s recreation areas, they called on All Play’s John Cole to create a custom design that would fit their existing site plan while still addressing the needs of their students. Cole and his team recommended a new PlayBuilder structure from Little Tikes and the school opted for a natural color scheme to complement the play area’s surroundings. The result is a safe, inviting, kid-pleasing structure that should serve the needs of Brighton’s student body for years to come. Can a Brighton degree in climbing, sliding, and running be next?

Visit from the Dentist!

Dr. Ragsdale's office came to visit Brighton last week.  She brought along some special surprises as well....her very own tooth fairy, dragon with perfect teeth & goody bags for all the children.  Everyone had so much fun dancing & pretending to brush their teeth, all while learning good dental hygiene!  

Our theme for the month of May is Food & Fitness!  Fitness is fun – especially when it includes balls, obstacle courses, silly games and music made for dancing. Fuel the energy with nutritious food. Your children will interact and play with fruits, vegetables, grains, meats and golden eggs. Build a pyramid of healthy food too.  We also have a special visit from Dr. Ragsdale's office to show the children how much fun it is to take care of our teeth!

The St. Jude's Trike-A-Thon was a BLAST for the children last Friday!  They had so much fun riding their bikes at school, and it was all for such a great cause.  Thank you Brighton Families for making this fundraiser such a huge success for St. Jude's!

We are doing the St. Jude's Trike-A-Thon this week at Brighton.  The children are so excited about bringing their bikes to school this Friday to ride them.  Every day, they are learning a little bit more about bicycle safety, and they are raising funds to help support children, like themselves, who are sick.  It is such a great cause, and we are very proud of the kids that have put effort into raising money to help "Brighton" our community a little bit more!

April's Theme for the month is "Cowboys, Dunes & Deserts."  The children will be able to dress as a cowboy or cowgirl for the day, tomorrow, April 9th, for our "Go Western Day."  Their imaginations will run wild throughout the month, as they ride a burrow and make a campfire. Sing along with howling coyotes in the moonlight. Try to find shade beneath their homemade cactus. Close their eyes only to find themselves bumping on the back of a camel. Deserts may be dry, but they are still full of life!
