Positive sense of citizenship
Students who meet the Bright Lights standards and are recommended by their teachers and
six staff members are inducted into the Bright Lights program.
Induction ceremonies are conducted throughout the school year at assembly programs. A significant
number of adult supporters (typically 40-60 parents and family friends) attend these programs to
honor the children, as they become Bright Lights.
Bright lights gain a sense of belonging and citizenship by selecting a cultural ancestor who serves
as a role model. Students are required to share with others about the contributions of their cultural ancestor.
