In partnership with The Public Education Foundation, Brighton
Collectibles has selected the winners of their annual poetry

in kindergarten through fifth grades in celebration of Teacher

The poetry contest coincided with Brighton Collectibles’s fundraising
efforts for The Public Education Foundation. Brighton contributed
$5 to The Public Education Foundation for every Brighton ABC’s
Charm Bracelet sold during the month of April. Nearly $7,500
was donated, which will benefit local public schools.
