“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances.”
-1 Thessalonians 5:16
Dear Brent Community,
As we embark on the school year 2024-2025, I am excited to share our chapel theme for the year: “Practice Gratitude.”
This theme encourages us to recognize and appreciate the blessings in our lives, fostering an attitude of thankfulness in every circumstance. Gratitude is a powerful force that can transform our school environment, bringing us closer together and enhancing our overall well-being.
I extend a heartfelt welcome to all our students, parents, and staff. To our returning families, your continued commitment to the Brent family is deeply appreciated. Your resilience and dedication have been truly inspiring, especially during these challenging times. To our new families, we are thrilled to have you join us and look forward to the unique contributions you will bring to our vibrant community.
Our dedicated and highly qualified teaching and support staff are committed to our mission and values. Their passion for education and student development makes Brent a special place.
Students, I encourage you to embrace the Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs) and strive for excellence in all areas of your life. This year, let’s focus on practicing gratitude, supporting each other, and making the most of every learning opportunity.
Parents, your partnership is invaluable. Your active involvement in your child’s education is what truly makes us a Brent family. Together, we can create an environment where every student thrives.
Reflecting on the wisdom of our founder, Bishop Brent, who said, “Human strength is of a threefold character – physical, mental, spiritual,” let us remember to nurture every part of our being. A holistic approach to education will help us rise above challenges and grow in all aspects of our lives.
Please visit our website regularly for updates and important information to help us navigate the school year successfully. Your engagement and cooperation are crucial in maintaining a positive and effective learning environment.
In closing, I extend my best wishes for a year filled with gratitude, encouragement, and support. Together, let us strive to be the best versions of ourselves at Brent.
Sincerely,
Celeste Reyes-Engler
Headmaster
