School is about so much more than just grades and assignments—it’s where lifelong friendships are built, trust is formed, and students find their sense of belonging. Chronic absenteeism can pull students away from that community, but showing up every day keeps them connected.

Round Two of Pictures from today's Fun!
What a FUN FILLED Morning! Today was BOTH Super Hero Day AND Fall Fun Day!
We cannot say a big enough thank you to so many volunteers that made today a fun success. Darnell Farms for sending pumpkins, 15 Parent Volunteers, 20+ Middle School Students, and 35 parents who sent in supplies or prepped activities!
More pictures of the day to come!

Part 2 of Farm Day photos! Mr. Sorrell and his students brought pigs and goats for us to meet, Tessa & Teddy brought 2 of their hens, Ms. Natalie's turkeys and ducks came to visit, and Mr. Richie and his two horses, Bob and Millie, walked down the hill for a visit!
Yesterday, Bright Adventures Students experienced FARM DAY - a day full of farm related activities both inside their classrooms and outside! Children pretended to 'milk cows' and 'shear sheep' in their classrooms and met real horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys, goats, and pigs outside! A HUGE thank you to our community members who took the time to bring animals and share their knowledge of farming with our preschoolers. Hands on learning is always the best! (More pics to come)
Every day in class matters! Research shows that freshman attendance and grades are powerful predictors of high school graduation—even more so than eighth-grade test scores. Showing up today creates opportunities for tomorrow.

Happy Homecoming! Let's go, Swain!!📣
Remember October is Empathy for Swain County Schools Character Ed. What a cute way for Bright Adventures PreK to introduce their students to Empathy!
This morning, Ms. Shelby Cook from Swain Soil & Water Conservation visited to help us learn about worms! 🪱 We LOVE when she comes to visit! Thanks so much, Ms. Shelby!
Last month these students played Respect Bingo with their families. They practiced different ways of showing respect (holding a door open, using their manners, greeting people, etc) and won prizes! This month we are playing Empathy Bingo!

A Little Adds Up
Did you know that missing just 10% of the school year is considered chronic absenteeism?
In a typical 180-day school year, that's about 18 days — roughly one month of school.
And it doesn't take long to get there. Missing just two days per month can put a student in that range.
Every day counts!

A Fun filled Hat Day at Pre-K!!
Tomorrow is Hat Day at Pre-K! 🧢🎩👒⛑️🪖🎓
Attendance Matters!
One of the strongest predictors of success in school is also one of the simplest: showing up.
Research consistently links regular attendance with stronger academic performance, staying on track for graduation, and greater connection to school.
Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, connect with teachers and friends, and take another step toward graduation.
Be here. Be engaged. Be successful.
Looking ahead... 🎩🧢👒🦸🏼🧑🏼🌾🚜🏈📚
Today some of our friends from the Middle School visited to read books from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Thank you! ❤️📚
