CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The Aug. 21 flood in Humphreys County devastated Waverly Elementary School, filling their hallways and classrooms with muddy stormwater.

In response, 5 Star Media Group has created Clarksville Cares for Waverly Elementary School. The drive starts this week, collecting new supplies for the school, in coordination with Humphreys County Emergency Management Agency, so that when the school reopens, the kids can get back to learning as soon as possible.
