Safer TN has been exploring ways to support the Antioch High School community beyond our advocacy and firearm education efforts. We recognize that the pain and fear from that day are long-lasting, with ripple effects throughout the community. Our members include Covenant School parents who lost children or experienced lasting trauma following the shooting nearly two years ago, and many more whose lives have been forever changed by firearm violence.
Inspired by the thoughtful goodie bags created by several faith organizations for Antioch’s faculty and staff, we’ve decided to make Valentine’s cards for students, faculty, and staff. Along with delivering treats, we hope to bring a little brightness to their day and show them the communities cares.
We will host a family-friendly Valentine-making event on Tuesday, Feb. 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Temple, 5015 Harding Pike in Belle Meade. If you can attend, please register here.
If you’re unable to attend but would like to participate, we will have drop-off locations in Davidson County at:
- Hamilton United Methodist Church (3105 Hamilton Church Road, off Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch)
- Woodmont Christian Church (3601 Hillsboro Pike, Green Hills) in the church staff office building
- The Temple (in Belle Meade) in the Temple office
