My name is Anna Pennala. I am running for the Brighton school board.  I have been a resident of Brighton for 20 years. When my husband and I bought our first home, we knew we wanted to live in this district. We narrowed our search to Brighton schools only. Brighton provides the small town feel with big city amenities. We enjoy knowing our neighbors and letting our kids have freedom knowing they will be safe.  I have had children in this district for 13 years and will be involved for at least another 7. My husband and I have four children. Our son graduated last year and our 3 daughters are currently enrolled.

Our family is very active within the Brighton sports community where we have met many amazing Brighton families who are now life-long friends! Our son played hockey and golf. Our daughters play volleyball, tennis, and basketball. I have enjoyed volunteering my time with the various teams, getting to know the students, their friends, families, and supportive businesses so I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try my hand in a bigger capacity – school board. I am a proud Bulldog mom and want the best for our kids! I will fight to make sure that Brighton continues to be a “destination district” academically and athletically.
