Item four A recognition of the Civic Academy graduates.

Thank you, Mayor.

Uh we just had a wonderful dinner with our Civic Academy graduates, and they've all pledged to run for open city council seats in their wards when they become available.

So can't wait to see that.

I'll turn it over to our communications director for this item.

Good evening, Mayor, members of City Council, and distinguished guest.

I'm Kristen Chernowsky, Communications and Engagement Director.

It's my honor this evening to recognize the graduates of the second class of the Brighton Civic Academy.

Over the past seven weeks, these dedicated residents have taken time out of their busy schedules to gain a deeper understanding of how our city operates.

Through presentations, discussions, and hands-on learning, they explored many areas of government from budgeting and public safety to utilities, public works, community development, parks and recreation, and more.

Their curiosity, enthusiasm, and dedication truly reflect the spirit of civic engagement that makes Brighton such a special place to live.

Each graduate leaves this program with a deeper understanding of how our city works and how they can play an active role in shaping its future.

Thank you all for your time, your commitment and your dedication to our community.

At this time I'd like to invite Cinnamon Haim to share a few words on behalf of the 2025 graduating class.

Oh, I like that one.

Good evening.

Thank you all very much for the opportunity for running this really amazing Civic Academy.

I've lived in countless cities and small towns across Colorado and Kansas and this is by and far one of the most important things I've ever experienced.
