One of the casualties of this event was our historic cedar tree, one of the oldest in Knoxville, was felled in the storm. Not one for dwelling on devastation, Joe Tate, one of the founders of Tate\u2019s School and self-taught artist himself, reached out to wood sculptor, Jeff Banning. Jeff lives in Louisville, TN\u00a0 and his true passion is creating art with a chainsaw. He prides himself in releasing what lies within the wood and bringing an image to life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really pleased with this sculpture because it reflects the patriotic values inherent in the culture of Tate\u2019s School,\u201d said Joe Tate, New Development Director for Tate\u2019s School.<\/p>\n<p>The sculpture features the iconic image of an Eagle, the United States Flag, and a family of owls nesting in the tree. The owls are a nod to the owls that make their home on Tate\u2019s 54-acre campus and represent the acquisition of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>It took Jeff about three days to complete this project. \u201c We can\u2019t wait for the students to see it when they return to campus this fall,\u201d said LouL Tate founder and matriarch of Tate\u2019s School. Tate\u2019s School is a private school for preschool \u2013 middle school students founded on Christian beliefs located in West Knoxville, off Cedar Bluff Rd.<\/p>\n<p>Link:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodcarvedcreations.com\">www.woodcarvedcreations.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 7, 2024, a Category 2 tornado roared through Tate School\u2019s campus.
