Peterson
I am Kriston Peterson and I have been the media specialist at Brighten Academy for six years. I have a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and a Masters degree in Schoo Library Media from the University of West Georgia. My husband and I have dog, she is a 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier named Yoohoo. When I am not reading books that Brighten students are reading I love scuba diving, CrossFit, scrapbooking, and soon I am become a beekeeper! 
Richison
​I am Kim Richison, and I have been at Brighten Academy for 13 years. I am the Media Clerk, and have been for the past several years. 
I have been married for almost 34 years! I have one daughter, an energetic grandson who will be 3 in October, and 3 dogs. There’s never a dull moment between work and home, but when given the opportunity, I love to read.
