Relay for Life Washington County - There's No Place Like Hope

I am excited to be the Event Lead for Relay for Life here in Washington County. I hope this year I have the opportunity to help this community reach our fundraising goal and maybe even surpass it! But I can only do that with all of your help! 

I look forward to meeting all of you and hearing your stories but first, I'll tell you a little about mine. I have lived in Sandersville for the last four years with my husband, Blake Dominy. He is one of the biggest reasons why I am involved in Relay for Life. Blake was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia in 2012. He is now healthy and cancer free! Because of cancer research his oncologist told us that he could be CURED not just treated. I know that not every cancer patient hears those words but the hope that one day all cancer patients could hear that is why I RELAY!

Brentwood News

Brentwood School celebrated its annual Grand Friends' Day  on Friday, October 21, 2016.  Friends and relatives from near and far came to be with students  in Grades PK-3-6 and listened as they entertained them.   Mrs. Anne Brantley welcomed everyone briefly as did Mrs. Mary Ellen Tinley, Brentwood's Music teacher. The entire group welcomed the crowd by singing, " Listen to the Music" by The Doobie Brothers.  PK-3-K sang "Happy Together" by The Turtles...very happily!  First and Second Grades were right in tune in singing, " You're My Best Friend" by Queen.  Third and Fourth grades gave a toe-tapping rendition of "Down on the Corner" by Creedence Clearwater Revival , and Fifth and Sixth Grades finished the performances with "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. 
 
The fun-filled morning was filled with family time to each classroom, visiting each teacher and the Book Fair in the library!  Fun times and special memories are always to be had at Grand Friends' Day at Brentwood School.  Come grow with us!
