🎉 Lisa is one of the best! Whether a family needs a resource or just a friendly face, she shows up. Thank you for everything you do for Bright Futures Bryant and our district. 🧡💙

Meet Lisa McNeely, one of the wonderful coordinators for Bright Futures Bryant!

For Lisa, her “why” comes back to helping others overcome barriers and find success:

“It is about providing the tools, advocacy, and support necessary for individuals, families, students, and communities to overcome barriers and achieve success.”

And what does she love most about being part of Bright Futures?

“Interacting with the community to help our students when they are in need of a resource or just need a friendly face. Bright Futures provides so many different connections to all areas of daily living.”

We’re so grateful for Lisa and the heart she brings to Bright Futures Bryant! 🧡💙

Bright Futures Bryant received another heartwarming donation! An ARcare staff member at our Hornet Health Clinic learned about our program while helping a family in need and was so moved by their story that she made a personal donation by check. We are so grateful for community members like her who show up for our families. Thank you!

We are so grateful for the Bryant FCCLA for supporting and leading the project, Hornets Helping Hornets! These incredible students collected food items and hygiene products to donate to Bright Futures Bryant, and we truly cannot thank them enough. It means so much to see our young people stepping up and taking care of their community. Thank you, Bryant FCCLA, for showing what it means to be a Hornet.

Summer Boredom Buster Bags were distributed to students across the Bryant School District! This would not have been possible without the generous donations from our amazing church and community members.

A special shoutout to the middle school students from NLC Saline Co for assembling everything, and to Ryan & Crosspointe Church for donating the bags.

It truly takes a village, and we are so thankful for ours!

Bright Futures Bryant is looking for local businesses to help make summer activities possible for students in our community.

We are inviting businesses to sponsor scholarships for kids to participate in the Bryant Youth Association this summer. A full scholarship sponsorship is $500 and a half scholarship is $250. All sponsorships are tax deductible through Bright Futures.

Your support helps ensure that more students have the chance to play, stay active, and be part of the fun this summer.

If your business would like to sponsor a scholarship, please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Thank you for supporting Bryant students and families.
