At Dr. Daniel Bright, we are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion, connection, and success, where students feel supported and inspired every day. ❤️
If you’d like to help us continue this momentum, we would be so grateful for your support! Donations will help us create a rewarding and encouraging testing experience for our students.

DDB’s 21st CCLC After School Clubs are truly something special 💛
Clubs are more than just a place to go after school—they’re a space to explore, create, and discover new passions. From sewing and tap dancing to cooking, art, Dungeons & Dragons, yo-yo, Pokémon, theater, and so much more, there’s something for everyone!
And of course… it’s not all serious—we love the candid moments too! The laughter, the silliness, and the joy that happens when kids feel comfortable just being themselves are what make these clubs unforgettable.

Creativity was in full swing at DDB’s 21st CCLC After School Sewing Club with the incredibly talented Ms. Hailey, our amazing art teacher! 🧵✨
Students turned simple, everyday socks into adorable sock monkeys, learning sewing skills while letting their imaginations run wild. From stitching to stuffing to adding their own unique touches, each creation was full of personality!
So proud of our young artists for their hard work and creativity—what a fun and inspiring afternoon! 🐒❤️

🎨✨ Our Art Club at DDB’s 21st CCLC After-School Program had a creative and mind-stretching session this week!
Students explored the fascinating world of tessellations—patterns made from shapes that fit perfectly together without gaps or overlaps. Inspired by math, geometry, and art, our young artists experimented with repeating shapes and designed their own colorful tessellation patterns.
It was amazing to see their creativity come alive as they discovered how art and math connect! 🧩🖌️
Great job to all our artists for their focus, imagination, and teamwork. We can’t wait to see what they create next!

Our 21st CCLC After School Club, Kindhearted Kids is off to a wonderful start at DDB! ❤️
Each student received a special stuffed animal friend to care for, helping them practice kindness, responsibility, and compassion. By taking care of their new buddy, students are learning what it means to be gentle, thoughtful, and kind to others every day.

With Stem Bingo, circuits, magnets and all kinds of building materials. Our book fair stayed open as well to offer to families who couldn’t make it during the day.
