NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Covenant School opened its doors on Tuesday giving a look at the revitalized space of its original campus in Burton Hills.
“We appreciate the opportunity to share our story and the gospel message,” Head of School Trudy Waters said. “We have seen firsthand that out of deep loss, sorrow and pain can come healing, hope and joy."
The school said in a release on Tuesday that they've received incredible support from those in the Nashville community and beyond following the tragic events that happened last March.
Some of the support included support from The Joel Foundation, 4Wall Entertainment, Steve Cohen Productions, Clea Sherer and Joanna Teplin, Ed Nash and the team at Onsite and the Onsite Foundation.
“It has been a privilege to partner with the leadership and staff of The Covenant School. Music can bring joy and kindness to children and families, and we are proud that our foundation helped create a special environment that will be filled with music for years to come,” Billy and Alexis Joel said.
We all know Dolly Parton as a Tennessee treasure, I believe Mr. Jimmy Wren might join her. In honoring his 101st birthday, we got to know this WWII veteran and Orlinda native. His stories are captivating, and he'll leave you in stitches. Enjoy this story from Chris Davis and photojournalist, Catherine Steward.
