Principal's Message
Bountiful Harvest…All I can say is WOW!!! As you have heard, as a school we collected over 5,000 items for this great cause! Phenomenal job to everyone who donated to support families in need. Awesome job to Karen Nicholson and Deanne Ferrell who braved the elements a few weeks ago by collecting these items in front of our school. Our Hornung Families are the BEST!
Brighton Ford Window Contest… After all the toys were counted, Brighton Ford presented us with a $500 check! We didn’t come in first, but that’s okay. I am so thankful for those who came out to Brighton Ford to support this wonderful event and for those who donated to the “Toys for Tots” campaign! In addition, many thanks to Brighton Ford who has been a partner with our schools for over 20 years! Lastly, great job to Bill Rockwell who has assisted with collecting toys at Hornung this past week
Lost and Found…
Yep, it’s that time of year where our Hornung Elementary Lost and Found is starting to look like Macy’s! There is many items already gracing our Lost and Found area, which includes: coats, boots, hats, mittens/gloves and scarves. Please stop by the Lost and Found if your child is missing some winter gear. It is located in the back hallway just outside the gym doors. If the items aren’t there, our Friendship Center and/or Buses collect items that could be your childs.
Names on all winter clothing!!! If you haven’t already, please write your child’s name (with a Sharpie) somewhere on the inside of these articles. Periodically, our staff/parents do straighten up the Lost and Found. If there is a name on the article, we will get it back to that student that day. If there’s no name, we really can’t do a whole lot. I truly appreciate your cooperation.
Happy Holidays…This is our last Stinging News of the year! Just a reminder that today, Friday, December 17th will be our last day of school before the break. Our Winter Break will begin tomorrow, Saturday, December 18th and go through Sunday, January 2nd. School will resume on Monday, January 3rd 2022. I’m wishing you all an amazing break!!!
Sincerely, Jack Yates

Counselor Corner
Welcome to December! At this point in the year, we take time to recognize all that is important to us. I am incredibly grateful for the amazing students and families I am able to connect with and the fantastic support from the staff at our school. We have experienced many challenges this year, and I would like to help support in any way that I can. If you or your child's teacher are noticing any need for social-emotional or mental health support, please reach out to me for ideas or connections.
This month, I will be connecting with new student groups to continue Social-Emotional Growth on specific topics with student peers. I will also continue connecting with students in the classroom with lessons on problem solving strategies or visits for other classroom needs. We also have our BAS Elementary Counseling website for ideas and resources to be used at home! Please feel free to contact your counselor with any questions or concerns that you may have, and I will do my best to support your child.

Important Information from BAS Student Nutrition Department
The McKinney Vento Act
The Brighton Area Schools is part of a consortium to serve students in temporary living situations that provides financial support for educational needs, referral for housing, clothing and other needs, general support and technical assistance. To ensure compliance with federal law, all school staff must help identify student living in the following situations: emergency shelters/transitional housing, motels/hotels, car, parks or public spaces, shared housing due to a loss of housing or economic hardship, or living temporarily with non-parent or guardian.
The district’s homeless liaison is Starr Acromite and each building has trained staff members to assist in the endeavor. Our consortium contact at the Livingston Educational Service Agency is Candice Uyttendaele.
Please contact your building principal or Starr Acromite at 810-299-4040 for information/assistance.
