BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – On Monday night, Brentwood City Commissioner Stevan Pippin noticed something interesting about the individuals attending the City’s Board of Commissioners meeting. Not only were they smiling, but they all had “aura about them of joy.”

“It’s obvious that you enjoy what you do, and that feeds back to us and that makes us feel better about what we’re doing here tonight,” he said.

Local principals and community service providers gathered at City Hall that evening for a special check presentation, providing them with extra money to support their programs.

Since 1986, Brentwood taxpayers have contributed more than $7.4 million to the schools that serve Brentwood, and more than $2.7 million to local community service providers. The Commission allocates money each year through its annual budget to support these schools and organizations.

“I can’t thank you enough for your support of our schools,” Alyson Hennecke, Sunset Middle School principal, said. “It means so much, and the work you do to support us pays dividends every day for our teachers and our students. This year, we’re really looking forward to enhancing our student celebrations for their positive behavior, and so some of the money you are providing is going to go toward providing those things.”

On Monday, Commissioners awarded educational funds as follows:

  • $62,400 to Brentwood High School.
  • $62,400 to Ravenwood High School.
  • $15,600 to Brentwood Middle School.
  • $15,600 to Sunset Middle School.
  • $15,600 to Woodland Middle School.
  • $10,400 to Jordan Elementary School.
  • $10,400 to Lipscomb Elementary School.
  • $10,400 to Scales Elementary School.
  • $10,400 to Crockett Elementary School.
  • $10,400 Edmondson Elementary School.
  • $10,400 to Kenrose Elementary School.
  • $3,100 to Sunset Elementary School.

The city also supported several recreational and social service providers working within the Brentwood city limits. On Monday evening, the City officially donated funds to these organizations:

  • $50,000 to the Fifty Forward Martin Center.
  • $13,000 to the YMCA Full Circle Program.
  • $21,000 to the Brentwood Ball Club.
