Bentley Summer Strong starts tomorrow! With many summer camps up in the air, and students sheltering at home for the summer, we know our families are looking for activities that create learning environments through summer. For our families we're here to say: we've got your back!

Congratulations to our 8th graders! Their Promotion Day on June 4th consisted of a drive through pick-up/drop-off at Hiller, and it was wonderful to see their faces. Students received their promotion certificates, yearbook, and a Bentley cupcake! #middleschool #graduation

Today our Upper School Deans put up student-made signs in honor of George Floyd - among others - at the Upper School Campus. Although our students can't come together in person on campus due to shelter in place, they can rally together as a community seeking to enact change.

Over the past few days, we've had the chance to connect with many in our community individually and in groups about the national conversation on racism, police violence, and inequality. Please see https://t.co/ROlO2tISFU to read our words.

Congratulations to our #ClassOf2020 - Bentley's Centennial Graduating Class!

Our #SocialDistancing #graduation walk might not have been what we were expecting when the year started - but your style, smiles and energy made it one we will never forget.

It's the #lastdayofschool for our Upper School students! This morning we threw a special #townhall meeting in our Bentley Remote Schoolhouse to send off the year and give a massive congratulations to our students, especially our graduating Seniors. CONGRATULATIONS #classof2020!

Tonight, through Bentley’s Remote Schoolhouse Parents in Partnership Project, we invited our families to join us for our first ever virtual K-12 Art Showcase - a self-guided tour of our virtual galleries, filled with the original creations of our students. We hope you enjoyed it!

Movie nights are a tradition at Bentley School - and one that we're so happy to continue over the web during #shelterinplace. Last Monday our #middleschool students enjoyed a #netflixparty with their classmates!

[Bentley School @bentleyschool]

Happy #memorialday everyone! We hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weekend.

We’re taking time today to honor those who served and sacrificed to keep us safe.

[Bentley School @bentleyschool]

We handed out #graduation cap and gowns to our Seniors last week from a safe, social distance, drive-through. It was great seeing their faces! We're looking forward to our Centennial Graduation Diploma Walk - and welcoming them back as Alumni, post COVID! Congrats #classof2020!

While games are on hold, our teams are still practicing in the Bentley Remote Schoolhouse! During #shelterinplace our men's #volleyball team took part in the 2020 Virtual Pepper Challenge. Great job team!

#throwbackthursday to our School Carnival at Phoenix Fest to kick off the 2019/2020 school year! We have fond memories of seeing our students triumph and wipeout on the Meltdown Bounce House at Lafayette Campus, playing games together, and eating some delicious food at our BBQ!
