What People Are Saying
Teachers...
- "This program is a model one – cities around the country should be visiting and duplicating."
- "The whole experience was rejuvenating for me – both professionally and personally."
- "You always affirm what I do. Thanks!"
Parents...
- "I love Bright Lights because it is the one class that my kids are happy to get out of bed for in the summer. The classes are interesting to them and they love showing me everything they’ve done at the end of the week. This year my son is still doing experiments that they learned about in class a week later."
- "Although my children excel in school, they are never sure of their future interests related to career opportunities. I find that Bright Lights gets them thinking about what they might like to do when they grow up. I also like the emphasis on cultural diversity."
- "It is great to see my children want to expand their knowledge about the subject area they learned about in Bright Lights. My children are reading books and researching on the computer."
- "Our child looks forward to taking part in the Bright Lights classes every year. There’s always plenty of challenging classes to choose from that are of great interest. Afterwards, we hear about all of the fun stories and great friends that were made. We feel fortunate to have Bright Lights available to our children."
- "The variety of classes is outstanding – hard to decide on classes. Also very impressed with check-in; teachers were careful with whom they let in the building."
Classroom Assistants...
- "I learned that there is a way to teach children without them knowing they are learning."
- "Most of the techniques shown by the professionals were interactive. They involved the kids and helped them to learn."
- "The teacher allowed the kids to have free creative reign, and they had a great time. The children were allowed to experiment and were praised for their creativity."
Scholarships...
- "Just wanted to take a moment to say that if it weren't for your kindness and generosity, my sons would not be getting the opportunity to go to the Medical Camp they signed up for this summer. It is not always easy for me to ask for assistance. My daughter went to this camp a few years ago, thanks to your help once again, and she had the best time. She learned a lot and it opened her eyes to the medical field, and the choices that there are within."
- "Thank you for the scholarship. It will be fun. My big brother loves Bright Lights and this summer I get to go too. "
- "Thank you so much for the scholarship for my daughter to attend the Architecture Day Camp. She is very talented in art and design, but has received little encouragement. I believe that this Bright Lights experience will give her a glimpse into her own future that she hasn't previously believed was possible. I'm very grateful for this opportunity for her."
Local Businesses...
- "I can't imagine a better way to spend our advertising dollars. I worked in a similar adult program and feel that both adults and students need to be encouraged to become "life long learners" to be as happy and successful in life as possible. With young children of my own, I love to see their excitement in learning." (Cornerstone Printing)
- "The Bright Lights Summer enrichment classes encourage learning "beyond the classroom" and allow children to explore their interests and possible career choices. In doing so, Bright Lights makes a positive impact on the children who participate as well as on the community at large." (Sandhills Publishing)
- "Bright Lights does an outstanding job of introducing innovative learning to children. As a committed corporate citizen, Experian sees supporting Bright Lights as an investment in the future success of our children and the community." (Experian)
