I just wanted to drop a quick note about the Braille Readers Are Leaders celebration that took place this afternoon at MSB. There were 15 students who participated this year and 14 of them participated in the celebration. 
 
Students had a lot of fun trying to come up with words which were made out of the letters of their name and starting to read a story that they would be able to complete on their own about how a cat should go about choosing a family to adopt. I am not sure they wanted to stop reading the story and am pretty confident that they will finish the story on their own.
 
All students received Braille calenders and certificates for participating as well as prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. One high school age student read 2,273 pages! When the celebration was concluded, all students enthusiastically said they will participate next year. 
 
Thanks to everyone who participated for making this a success. Couldn't have done it without you!
