  • International Day Was a Huge Success!

    On Saturday, March 16th, the Upper School gym was filled with over 200 students and their families who came together to celebrate the many different cultures we have at Bentley. There was food, crafts, music, and, above all else, FUN!
     
    Thank you to all who brought delicious food and volunteered their time to make the day a special experience for our students and families. A special thank you to event co-chairs Robin Latour and Mandeep Ahluwalia for their vision and tireless efforts in making this important event happen and to Megan Kelly, who made the craft tables spectacular. We can’t wait until next year’s celebration!
