Last fall, the Brighton Optimist Club heard a guest speaker, Sue Dahlmann, talk about a program called 'Reaching Higher'. She had been conducting this program in other SE MIchigan schools and wanted to start it in her home community.
The Optimists were so impressed, that they allocated money to sponsor two students, the first community group to do so. The Reaching Higher program provides tools for building a student's confidence level, overcoming limiting beliefs and moving toward their goals.
A February 3, 2010, article in the Livingston County Press and Daily Argus featured this program and mentioned the role of the Brighton Optimists, and other community groups.
The Brighton Optimist Club is proud to have been a part in the inaugural year of this program for local youth, and we hope it is an important part of the community for many years to come.
