It's PTA Election Time! Deadline is Friday, June 1

5/30/2018

 
This is an exciting time for the Brent PTA.  Last week the PTA approved new bylaws just in time to elect next year's officers.  Beginning in the 2018-2019 school year, all members of the PTA Board will be officers, and to spread the fun and the workload around, two people will hold each office.  Grab a friend and join the fun!

We are calling all Brent Bears to consider serving as one of the following PTA officers:

Co-President
Co-Vice President
Co-Secretary (one Secretary will serve a 1-year term and the other Secretary will serve a 2-year term)
Co-Treasurer (one Treasurer will serve a 1-year term and the other Treasurer will serve a 2-year term)
Co-Community Liaisons (one Liaison must have a child who has attended Brent for 2 years or less)

Mary Young (Brent Custodial Foreperson) Support Fund

5/16/2018

 
Our custodial foreperson at Brent Elementary school, Mary Young, has been diagnosed with cancer and will officially retire from Brent in June with almost 30 years of service. Ms. Young has been out due to aggressive treatment of her condition. We as a community want to help her during this challenging time, so we have started a GoFund Me campaign. Please consider supporting Ms. Young!

Brent's expansion request was included in the FY19 budget!

5/15/2018

 
This afternoon the DC Council passed a budget that included $10 million dollars in FY19 for Brent to build out a six classroom expansion. A big thank you to all of you who called, emailed, visited, testified and signed the petition. This would not have happened without your continued involvement. 

Let us all take a moment to reflect and celebrate this terrific news for Brent. Please take time to thank Councilmember Phil Mendelson, as he was instrumental in finding the funds on short notice and getting them into the budget. We should also thank Charles Allen for his dedicated and continued advocacy on the Council on behalf of our school community. In addition, please take a moment to thank Elissa Silverman and David Grosso for their support.

Proposed PTA Budget for School Year 2018-2019

During last week’s PTA general meeting, the PTA along with Ms. Lycknell detailed how they worked together to develop next year’s PTA budget. This budget, along with the school’s DCPS budget, will work in concert to support the needs of the school and its students during the 2018-19 school year. This proposed budget can be found here and will be approved during the May PTA General Meeting.

Please consider donating any extra vases you may have to Brent’s teacher appreciation week. Vases can be dropped off to the front office by May 18. Thanks in advance.

Jefferson Academy Principal Panel Participation

5/8/2018

 
As you may have heard, Principal Dohmann will be transitioning back to the classroom as a math teacher for the 2018-2019 school year at Jefferson Academy. Brent, like each of Jefferson’s feeder schools, will have the ability to elect a representative for the Brent community.

In order to meet DCPS deadline, Brent must hold the election this week. Please note this position is separate from the two “at-large” communities positions mentioned in Friday’s email. If you are interested in serving as Brent’s representative, please provide your name and a candidate statement (no more than 100 words) to Ben Champa (benchampa@gmail.com) by 11:59 p.m. EST Wednesday night. The election will be held near the front office Friday morning during drop-off and afternoon during pick-up.
