CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tomorrow, Jan. 3, Clarksville schools resume class for the first time since the Dec. 9 tornadoes took place.
One of the victims of the tornado in Clarksville was 10-year-old Arlan Burnham. As a way of honoring this 4th grader, West Creek Elementary and Middle schools are encouraging their students to wear purple and gold.
Why these colors?
Arlan's favorite team was the LA Lakers.
He and three other people died as a result of the EF3 tornado that hit the northern part of Montgomery County.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
