Our Winter Concerts are coming up fast and our young musicians are excited to show off what they know!

The concerts will start promptly at 6:00 PM so I encourage you to arrive early to secure a seat.

Myschooldc Lottery Opens Today

12/11/2017

The My School DC lottery application is a single online application families must use to apply to attend:
- PK3 or PK4 programs at any DCPS school, including families in-boundary school
- DCPS school outside a family’s boundary or feeder pattern for any grade (PK3–12), including DCPS citywide schools
- DCPS selective high schools (9–12) DCPS schools will only accept the My School DC application available at MySchoolDC.org.

Current Brent families do not need to apply in the lottery except if they received a spot last year due to in-boundary preference and have since moved to an address which is out of the Brent boundary. Please contact Denise Diggs at denise.diggs@dc.gov if this applies to your family. If you are applying for a child who should receive sibling preference, please also alert Denise Diggs. Brent is required to verify all sibling preference applications. This is a good check to ensure those children have received the preference. If the preference is not selected, a correction can be made but only after the lottery has been run.

Brent’s Christmas Tree and Holiday Sale Continues the Tradition

12/7/2017

Last weekend, the Brent Christmas Tree and Holiday in its seventh year, continued to serve not only as a fundraiser but as a community gathering with former Brent families and Capitol Hill neighbors coming to the Brent playground to pick out Christmas trees, buy cookies, select wreaths and garland. An event as successful as the Christmas Tree and Holiday sale has its partners. Tues News would like to give a huge shout out to Bookstore Movers, a local moving company. With each tree weighing at least 50 pounds and over 1000 trees to unload off a semi-truck, the fabulous and fantastic Bookstore Movers crew was instrumental in getting the sale set up. (Brent community – support this local business and think about Bookstore Movers for your moving needs). Also, please take a moment to thank and congratulate the events leads, Josh Drobnyk, Alyson Lewis and John Fleming who worked so tirelessly to ensure another terrific event. And for the over 90 volunteers at the event, thank you for launching the holiday season for the community.
