“The 11th annual Community Fair will bring the school community and the Brentwood community together for fun, food and an all-round wonderful day,” said Brentwood Science Magnet Elementary School Principal Ms. Aleta Taylor. “The day will celebrate our beautiful campus and raise funds for art and music, which are vital to our children’s education.”

Conducted by the Friends of Brentwood Science Elementary, the school’s nonprofit parent-teacher organization, the event is organized and staffed by an amazing group of volunteers. Parents, teachers, administrators, alumni and community partners work hand-in-hand to create a safe and successful day, treasured by all.
