Welcome to the Brighton Central School District’s Community Bulletin Board where you can find community related e-flyers and links. Our District works with community non-profit organizations to present information about local activities that have educational, civic, recreational or cultural value for students.  Information posted has been approved for distribution as a public service. The school district does not endorse community information posted here and does not assume responsibility for the activity or the organization. 

We respectfully request that you do not contact principals and schools in our District directly. If you wish to submit information to share on the Bulletin Board, please email Dan Goldman, Communications Coordinator, at daniel_goldman@bcsd.org. 

In talking to community non-profit organizations, we learned that some families are not seeing information and flyers on the Community Bulletin Board and in our weekly District eNews. In order to help get the word out about these programs, we’re going to offer limited flyer distribution a few times a year at Council Rock Primary School and French Road Elementary School. The deadlines for submission will be Oct. 11, Jan. 10, March 7, and May 9 and they would be distributed the following week. Flyers must be approved before they are dropped off at schools. Contact Communications Coordinator Dan Goldman at daniel_goldman@bcsd.org for approval and details on how many flyers to print and how to group them for classroom distribution. We will still post community information to the Community Bulletin Board and in the District eNews. 

Upcoming Events

The Brighton Burn 2025

The Brighton Rowing Club’s Brighton Crew-Youth Rowing club is excited to host The Brighton Burn 2025, a community event fundraiser bringing local and international organizations to compete from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 1 at Twelve Corners Middle School.  This year, the club has a special partnership with the Brighton Fire Department to celebrate the Department’s 100th year and raise money for a good cause. Rowers entered in this special event will race for 500 meters against Brighton firefighters in gear. Funds raised through this race are intended for CompassionNet, a local organization providing community-based palliative and caring services for pediatric clients and their families. The Brighton Burn is an indoor rowing race and an opportunity for athletes to support others and push themselves in a competitive setting before being on the water in the spring competitive season. Those in attendance will be able to follow along with the race by watching live projections of the rowers’ virtual boats. The day will be separated into categories, so athletes are racing against appropriate competition. For more information, please reach out to Coach Ogden at lucas.ogden@brightoncrew.org or visit their website.
