Welcome 2021! We are looking forward to a great year! We hope everyone had a peaceful and restful winter break. We brought some holiday spirit to our campuses.
Graduating Seniors
Nobu at the Brightmont Academy Deer Valley campus is in Japan right now taking the entrance exam for the University of Kyoto!! He will be graduating Brightmont in March! Senior Liz is finishing up graduation requirements at Brightmont Academy in Redmond and will be graduating in February!
Campus Events
Students and staff at our Deer Valley campus dressed down on pajama day, the last day of school before winter break.
The ugly holiday sweater contest at the Scottsdale campus was a success! Congratulations to the winners: Emma R, Maribel and Zarrin!
On Friday, January 15th, the Redmond campus celebrated Teacher Appreciation Day in conjunction with National Bagel Day! We had bagels and cream cheese for our teachers to recognize and thank them for their great work with our students! Everyone on campus was also invited to wear their favorite hat to school in honor of National Hat Day. Before the holiday break, the teachers in Redmond also enjoyed a special lunch and gifts.
Campus Safety
The Scottsdale campus came up with a creative approach to inspire everyone on campus to continue paying attention to campus safety guidelines. Our special holiday visitor Brighty the Elf recognized a number of students and staff during the month of December for following these guidelines such as wearing a face mask, using hand sanitizer, using the designated enter and exit doors, and following the floor arrows. Winners were drawn each week from Brighty's nominations, and the winners received Amazon gift cards. Congrats to MacKenzie S., Jake D., Andy G., Peggy, Emma R., Cole D., Emily K-R, Joey K., Ben G., and Susan!
Campus Improvements
We are modifying and updating a few of our campuses to create a better learning environment. A couple campuses are getting the classrooms set up and completed with whiteboards and furniture, while a couple others have had classrooms and hallways re-painted.
