Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year from the Brent PTA
Welcome, families!
As we begin this special year at Meyer, while our beloved Brent campus undergoes its transformation, the Brent PTA is honored to walk alongside you, continuing our mission to build a connected, inclusive, and empowered school community. No matter the building, home is where our community comes together.
This year, we remain rooted in our shared commitment: to enrich every child’s educational journey through field trips, classroom experiences, teacher appreciation, and joyful moments that bring us closer as a school family.
While we may be learning in a new space and preparing for a new name, our heart remains the same. We carry forward the Spirit of the Bear, a spirit of resilience, kindness, and unity that defines who we are and all we do.
We are so glad you are here. Together, let us make this a year full of purpose, connection, and unforgettable memories.
Warmly,
2025–2026 Brent PTA Board
