The fair will be open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 - 8:30 am and from 3:30 - 6 pm.  On Friday it will close at 4:30 pm. Grand opening will be on Saturday, December 3 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm, which coincides with the Christmas Tree sale; this is a great opportunity to accomplish a good portion of your holiday shopping at Brent.

Please consider helping with the fair; volunteers are needed for set-up on Thursday, December 1, right after school, for clean-up on Friday, December 9, at 4:30 pm, and to sell books.  If you can help, please contact Ms. Bettina.  

During the Saturday and Sunday hours of the Holiday Tree sale (Dec 3rd and 4th from 9-5) we will be selling whole pies, breads, cakes, cookies and whatever other wonderful baked goods we can get you to bring in. For the non-bakers, purchased goods are happily accepted too.

The meeting is open to the public. We will be having two important conversations this week that may be of interest to both parents of Brent students and to the community at large. First, we'll be discussing Brent's recent history of long waitlists for in-bounds families, its impact on our community, and what role, if any, the school should play in addressing the dynamic. 

Each year, the District of Columbia Public Schools receives federal funds from its Impact Aid application submitted to the U.S. Department of Education. Impact Aid is a federal formula grant program that provides financial assistance to local education agencies that educate: a) Students who are living in federally subsidized low-rent housing. b) Students who reside on federal property (including military bases, embassies and federally subsidized low-income housing) and whose parents are employed on federal property. c) Students whose parents are civilian employees of the Federal Government but do not reside on federal property d) Students with a parent/legal guardian who is a member of the military services.  Please return your completed forms to your child's teacher or to the front office. 

For four Wednesdays in November, Lavagna (539 8th St SE) will donate 10% of all sales for the evening to the Brent PTA. Bring your family and friends and come eat on Nov. 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 30th.
