Silestone On Extreme Makeover Home Edition Episode 808, 11/14/10

The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team, hundreds of local volunteers, countertop surface provider Silestone, and countertop installer Old Castle Surfaces, built a safe, new home for the Lighthouse Christian School.
At the center of the disaster is the Sweatt family, who has been running the school since 2003. In spite of the damage to eight of its 18 buildings on the school campus, the Sweatt family demonstrated true Tennessee volunteerism and took it upon themselves to spearhead a flood recovery effort. They have helped more than 200 families, providing shelter, food, water, clothing, counseling, and a myriad of other social and financial services.
Located at 5100 Blue Hole Road in Antioch, the preschool is the lifeblood of the Lighthouse School. With finances nearly depleted, Lighthouse School does not have the resources to find skilled labor to rebuild. Sadly, if the building isn't rebuilt and reopened soon, the entire school is in jeopardy of closing within 24 months. After the flooding, the Sweatt family and the school stepped in immediately to help Nashville recover.
"The Sweatt family and the Lighthouse Christian School stepped in to help Nashville recover. It's fitting that the community and volunteers have stepped in to help them now," explained Lorenzo Marquez, vice president of marketing for Cosentino North America, which has its headquarters in Stafford, Texas.
