This season reminds us that the gifts of time, talent, and treasure, are at the heart of every safe and thriving school community, and Bright Futures brings those values to life every day.  

It’s the very principle behind a phrase many educators know well, “Maslow Before Bloom.” It’s also the foundation on which we built Bright Futures — to help meet students’ basic needs quickly and to give every child a chance at success.

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment and celebrate the amazing work being done by our Bright Futures Communities! For those who may not be familiar, Bright Futures is a signature program of Safe and Sound Schools.
