🐯💙💛 TSB Tigers Celebrate Seven Wins at Goalball Invitational!

It was a successful weekend at Donelson Christian Academy as the Tennessee School for the Blind (TSB) Tigers competed in the 2026 Goalball Invitational!

Seven schools participated, representing Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri. TSB's boys' team won four games, while the girls' team earned three victories!

Goalball is a sport built around sound, communication, teamwork, and trust. Players wear eyeshades to ensure equal competition and rely on the sound of bells inside the ball to track its movement.

From diving to block shots to communicating with teammates, every moment calls for focus, quick reactions, and teamwork.

Beyond the action on the court, the weekend brought athletes together through competition, camaraderie, and school spirit.

A big thank-you to everyone who volunteered and helped make the tournament a success!

White Cane Safety Day: Building Independence Through Orientation and Mobility (O&M)

White Cane Safety Day is observed annually on October 15. Although TSB was on fall break, we're taking a moment to recognize the importance of the white cane and what it represents: independence, confidence, and freedom of movement.

Our O&M specialists work with students throughout the school year to develop skills for navigating campus, traveling safely in their communities, and becoming more independent in everyday life.

Every step toward independence matters! 💙💛

💙💛 Learning in the library! 📚

The Tennessee School for the Blind library is more than a place to find a good book. It’s a space where students can read, study, use technology and practice navigating independently to find the resources they need.

From browsing the shelves to settling in with a book or working on an assignment, our Tigers are building skills while making the library their own. 🐯
