The Future is Bright, Indiana

Today is the first day of school for Sunman-Dearborn Schools.  Please watch for children around school bus  pickup locations.

We are organizing a day (probably a Saturday in April) for Make Bright Beautiful Day.  We will be cleaning up trash on the main roads into Bright including Jamison Rd, State Line Rd, Sand Run Rd, Salt Fork Rd, Jackson Ridge Rd, and North Dearborn Rd.  Please let us know your interest and availability by sending an email to info@brightin.org.  We will schedule the Make Bright Beautiful Day after we receive some interest.

Cub Scout Pack 693 had a special visitor at their pack meeting this evening.  The Dearborn County Sheriff Department K-9 unit brought Tjardi, the department police dog.  Tjardi showed the boys and their families all the work a police dog goes through to help fight crime.  He sniffed illegal substances and showed how to track down and capture a suspect.

Sunman-Dearborn Community School will be hosting a community meeting on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at Bright Elementary School.  The purpose of this meeting is to gather suggestions and recommendations from parents and residents regarding ways to reduce the budget deficits in the School Corporation.  Proposals such as new fundraising campaigns and cost saving measures will be welcome.  Ideas should be submitted in writing, so that they can be thoroughly reviewed by independent parent volunteers, and may be confidential.  Written submissions will be compiled into one document and will be presented to the school board and superintendent.  Any interested person who may not be able to attend the community meeting can email proposals to:  suggestions@sunmandearborn.k12.in.us.

This meeting is meant to be a brainstorming session only.  Proposals will not be discussed by those in attendance.  Members of the school board, administration, and the school superintendent will be present for support purposes only.  The financial situation faced by this community affects all of us, and by working together we can create a plan that will ensure the success of our schools in the future.

The Sunman-Dearborn School Board will hold it’s March Board Meeting at Sunman-Dearborn Middle School on Thursday March 11, at 7:00 P.M.

Good Friday, April 2, will be used as a make-up day.  There will be school on that day.  Check the site for updated information about school make-up days.
