Dear Brent family,

What a wonderful way to end this week with our UN Cultural Assembly this morning by the National Honor Society and our UN Dress Up Day!

Thank you to our NHS officers, members, and advisers Bb. Nelly Doliente and Ms. Abbey Diwas for hosting a well prepared, inspiring and heartwarming assembly! 

Here is the recording of this morning’s assembly as well as the Padlet Link for today’s UN Dress Up Day submissions (deadline until 6 p.m. today).

Judging of the best attire will be based on the following criteria:

Creativity

Mix and match accessories and clothes which effectively represents the culture chosen

Effort and Appeal

Photo uploaded to the Padlet and the use of props and accessories effectively impact the overall presentation that is all culturally respectful

Authenticity

Does the outfit look like the real thing?

For those who may have missed this week’s special UN chapel, here is the recording as well:
