Stars of the Week

Star of the Week: Kelly M.

Here is a little Kelly trivia....Kelly was unable to be in the BrightStone Christmas Program this year because the day of the performance she came down with the chicken pox. She was very upset, as it is her time to shine with her precious little voice. She kept saying to her mom she was letting everybody down. Kelly is doing great now and tells us her Brightstone favorites are glazing ceramics, playing basketball, learning activities on the computer and helping cook lunch. Good job, Kelly!

Star of the Week: Kate Snow

Miss Kate is a BrightStone girl. She never wants to miss any of our acitivities and is very caring about all her friends. She watches out for everyone and always tries to help out when she can. Kate seems to enjoy everything we do at BrightStone, but she tells us her favorites are working in mixes, shopping, learning activities oin the computer, playing basketball and helping serve lunch. We are proud of you, Kate!

Christmas continues at BrightStone!

Gifts that keep on giving have been arriving at BrightStone this week! Thanks to our supporters for a Cuisinart food processor, blender and egg cooker.

And another big thanks to Healthways for donating a new frost-free freezer! Theresa is overjoyed, and we all couldn't be happier!

Introducing the new BrightStone Weather Hotline!

Several parents mentioned that it would be a help if there were a way everyone could call in to find out if BrightStone is closed because of the weather.

So, we would like to introduce you to the new BrightStone Weather Hotline! If the weather looks questionable, call this number in the morning to find out if BrightStone is open or closed. You may call the night before, too - we will get the message updated as soon as a decision has been made about road conditions.

The BrightStone Weather Hotline is: 807.0634.

This number is informational only. If you need to get in touch with someone, or leave a message for someone, please call our regular number (790.4888).

We hope this helps make snow days a little easier! We will continue contacting area TV stations about closings, so you may still rely on that medium.
