Clubs & Activities
Bright Lights Choir
The Bright Lights Choir of Eisenhower extra-curricular activities are available to students so they can pursue their interests or hobbies even further. The Bright Lights of Eisenhower, a choral ensemble that meets before school, is an opportunity for the upper grade level students to devote additional time to developing musical skills, such as singing, reading music, creating vocal harmonies and working as an integral part of a music ensemble. As students take part in this ensemble, it is my goal to expose them to challenging and engaging musical experiences that will inspire them throughout their lives! For more information.

Lifelong Learning Programs
BVSD Lifelong Learning offers a way for kids to expand their knowledge without having to worry about grades or homework. After the school bell rings or during the summer, students can switch gears from core curriculum to their choice of creative, active and/or brain building options. Igniting a spark outside of the classroom can improve children’s attitude toward school and boost their self-confidence. Best of all, Lifelong Learning reinvests 100% of its profits back into BVSD.
