SCS Educators Earn Recognition for Exemplary Health Leadership
Congratulations to Benny Bills Elementary School Counselors, Emily Anderson and Charlsea Brantley. They are the recipients of the Educator Award given by the Sumner County Health Committee. For five years, they have been using Calming Kits at BBE to help teach students how to self-regulate their emotions. Both counselors were also instrumental in helping the Mental Health Sub-Committee implement their project to make sure every elementary school classroom has a calming kit by August 2024. Ms. Anderson and Ms. Brantley's dedication to their school and students is seen everyday by the teachers at the school. BBE Teacher, Mrs. Bennett said, "Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Brantley have led the way in putting students' mental health in the forefront. They work tirelessly to be innovative for our students' well-being. We are so thankful for all they do for our students, our teachers, our school, and our county."
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Sumner County Schools Unity Middle School Coordinator, Marijo Monette, because of her diligent dedication for the Unity After School program. Ms. Monette wrote and won a grant that funded three schools for the 2000 – 2001 school year. That grant has now grown to fifteen programs across Sumner County, and serves over 1,200 students each year. In addition to the Unity grant, Ms. Monette wrote the McKinney Vento grant, which serves homeless students and families helping meet basic needs and assisting with food and clothing. Ms. Monette has supported physical and mental health, healthy eating, and has helped countless students be successful in their academics, and taught countless life skills. She leads by example and continues to do everything she can to continue to make this world a better place. #SumnerAchieves #SumnerCountyStrong

Local McDonald's Owner-Operator Organization, Lyon Leadership Group, Donates $3,814.69 to Sumner County Schools
Local McDonald's owner-operators of the Lyon Leadership Group donated $3,814.69 to Sumner County Schools. This donation was the result of the Fries for School Supplies fundraiser. All proceeds from a la carte fry sales during a one-week period at local McDonald's restaurants were donated to local schools, including Sumner County School District.
This year's Fries for School Supplies fundraiser raised over $84,000 for local schools across the Greater Tennessee Valley region.
Community partners like the Lyon Leadership Group are the cornerstone upon which thriving schools are built. They provide valuable resources and strengthen the overall fabric of the community. We appreciate the Lyon Leadership Group for their generous support.
Gene Brown Elementary Principal, Keith Parrack, accepted the check at the McDonalds on 393 W. Main St. Hendersonville, TN. We enjoyed getting to meet the wonderful staff and the tour of the restaurant!
