SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — Sumner County schools will be closed on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Officials say no school sustained significant damage and power has been restored to all schools in Sumner County.
However, utility workers are still working to repair utility lines and clear debris in areas of Hendersonville and Gallatin.
"We are concerned about the impact of ongoing work on bus routes and students/employees ability to get to school. We also do not want school traffic to impact utility worker's abilit to complete their efforts," Sumner County Schools said.
Schools will reopen on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
Bus drivers are asked to use caution when driving through areas with cleanup efforts, and parents are asked to have patience as traffic congestion may impact bus routes and pickup and drop-off times, Sumner County Schools say.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
