BRENT BULLETIN 1
Week of August 11–16, 2025
Dear Brent Community,
The first two days of classes have been filled with energy, connections, and new beginnings. Thank you to everyone—students, parents, and faculty—for coming together to make our opening days truly special.
Acknowledgments from Last Week
We are grateful to all who made the start of our school year so memorable:
-
Welcome Chapel – On Friday, August 8, our community gathered for our first chapel service of the year, beginning our journey together in a spirit of unity and gratitude.
-
Welcome Coffee for New Parents – Hosted by our wonderful PTA on Friday morning at the Dining Hall, this gathering was a warm introduction for our new families to the Brent community.
-
