Community Rallies, Brentwood Schools Benefit

Local Brentwood families and businesses managed to raise nearly $50,000 to save Freshman sports at Brentwood schools this year – a feat that is to me a clear reflection on the strong sense of community and purpose that defines our town. There’s a sense of pride living in a community that cares about its kids, and the activities that keep them healthy and active, and focused on teamwork, dedication and commitment.

Local businesses in Brentwood like Bill Brandt Ford and Willy’s Bagels & Blends, along with many others, stepped-up the effort by raising awareness and funds alike. You can read the entire article in The Brentwood Press.

So while Freshman Sports are safe for this year, the budget crisis that still faces Brentwood schools makes it likely that we’ll need the same kind of community support to keep our ninth-graders active in years to come. But given the nature of the community in this town, I know it’s not a lost cause.
