DONELSON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police are informing parents, teachers and staff that the threat overnight at Donelson Middle School was not credible.

Parents were notified and the school has continued normal operations.

"Threatening mass violence against a school is a crime and a zero-tolerance offense under district police," Metro Police stated."The MNPD will investigate to try and determine the source of the threat and take appropriate actions."

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
