[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dear Brent family: our students, parents, teachers and staff,
We are facing difficult, uncertain, and unprecedented times.Â
On one hand, we are witnessing and feeling how the COVID 19 pandemic has been adversely affecting us as individuals, families, communities, cities, countries and the world. Everyone is affected. Know that it is alright to feel afraid, anxious, and worried.
On the other hand, it is also a time to witness how the world is coming together and how we can be a part of the solution. Everyone can make a positive difference in flattening the curve and in overcoming the virus. Know that it is also a time to be disciplined, caring, brave, and positive.Â
To build our resilience as a Brent family, below is a list of sites and resources put together by the team. This list will be continuously updated. We hope that you will find these resources helpful.Â
We are facing these times together. Please know that you are not alone.
Stay strong, Bulldogs!
May God bless us all![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
