Greetings!
It's hard to believe that summer is almost over. Brightsong has been very busy this summer enjoying the Summer Steps program and planning for future events and workshops. With the new school year just around the corner, we hope you enjoy the helpful tips to make the transition to the new school year a wonderful event for you and your child. We are looking forward to a great Fall!

This summer, 7 children attended the Summer Steps program created by Brightsong, LLC and the Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid-South (DSAM). Summer Steps is a preschool development
program for children with special needs from 3 - 5 years of age. In a small group setting, a variety of activities were provided in order to address a variety of goals and objectives.
This summer, Germantown Methodist Church and Germantown United Methodist Preschool (GUMP) provided a wonderful classroom for us to use. Summer Steps met twice a week from June 20 - August 3. We had so much fun learning about bugs, animals, plants, etc. and making new friends! Thank you to all the children, parents and our volunteer, Sarah Parker, for helping make this summer so much fun! Thank you to Medtronic for sponsoring the program and to GUMP for providing the wonderful space for us to use! We are looking forward to next year!
