hello all, I noticed that noone has brought up the Tennessee school for
the blind.Having just graduated from there, last week,I would like to say
it's not a bad school, if the students are started at an early age.However,
If you wait until the 11th grade, like I did, It's more challenging. There
is girlscouts, track, goal ball, speech, cheer leading, piano, chorus, and
band.The staff is excelent. If you'd like to learnmore, feel free to call
Jim Oldham, at 615-231-7300.I hope I helped. ----- Original Message -----
