… LEARN!
Those that read this blog thing probably thought I was going to say it was a great day to buy a new home in Nashville! It was that also. It will be all weekend, too!
But more importantly, have you seen Nashville’s new Cane Ridge High School? If you haven’t please drop in for a visit and ask to look around. The school, now in its third operational year, will have its first graduating class this school year. Congratulations to the CRHS Class of 2011!
The structure of the school’s curriculum is focused on Career Academies, with many classes offering future college credits! Students attending this school have access to all of the tools needed to further the career of their choosing.
Ole South was fortunate to have students from Cane Ridge High School’s Construction Career Academy visit the new Villas at Rivendell Woods today. These students, under the direction of Harold Cunningham, are taking indepth looks at various construction trades, to include Carpentry, Electrical Wiring, and HVAC. On their visit to Rivendell Woods, they were able to see examples of each in the “rough-in” stage. They even brought members of their yearbook staff to document the visit! Bob Cummings from Nashville’s Home Center Network (www.homecenternetwork.com) was also on hand. Here is the broadcast from Comcast Channel 49, shown daily at 9 am and pm.

Our Senior Project Manager (yes, he is the oldest one we have) Joe Diaferia was on-hand to take the students through our step-by-step construction methods. Joe is an excellent Project Manager, and he certainly would make a great teacher too! I’m glad I was there, because I learned some new things today also.
Let’s take a look at the group and what they saw. I won’t go into details about the many new construction features we are now offering because that is “top-secret” information. To learn more, you’ll have to pay us a visit!
It was our pleasure to host these students. It was an even greater pleasure to see the genuine interest they had in learning. Not only did they want to learn how to build a home, but they also wanted to know how to buy one! We are excited to have the opportunity to work with the students of Cane Ridge High School and look forward to seeing that new school evolve into one of the finest examples in the state!
Now that you know even more great things about the Greater Nashville area, why not visit our new home neighborhoods in Nashville, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, and Spring Hill this weekend. We’ve got Otis Spunkmeyer cookies in the oven just for you!

It was great seeing the students from Cane Ridge High School today at Rivendell Subdivision. They were very well- mannered and appreciative of seeing a real home under construction and learning how it’s done from the inside out. And, I was amazed at all the new innovations that are incorporated into a new Ole South home these days. Everything from surround sound and energy efficiency to remote controls and built-in termite protection at the ground level. This is a great way to connect with the next generation of Nashvillians! Thank you Trey and Ole South for being part of such a worthy enterprise!
