Dear Brent family,

We trust and hope that the Easter Break has been a restful, safe, and enjoyable one for everyone. May the celebration of Easter and its message of hope and grace be with us every day.

We are now in full swing with our Brent@113 celebrations. Here are the following events:

  1. We will be having our Brent Day chapel service tomorrow, Wednesday, April 20 at 7:45 via our Youtube channel.

  1. Spirit Week will be happening next week from April 25-29, Monday to Friday. We invite all members of our Brent community: students, parents, guardians, staff, and faculty to join and share the love! Below are posters prepared by the members of our National Honor Society.

  1. Finally, the highlight of our Brent @ 113 festivities will be the virtual Variety Show on April 29th, Friday at 8 a.m. via Youtube. We have a host of exciting and wonderful acts from many Brentonian performers! As an all-school interactive show, let’s be encouraging and appreciative when we tune in. We will be having a special schedule to accommodate this event – details soon to follow.

Mark the following in your calendar as well:
