[Steve & Shannon Cook]

Please share this far and wide. Thank you!

 

For the fourth year running the National Federation of the Blind of South
Carolina is proud to present NFB Braille Enrichment for Literacy and
Learning Academy! 

 

Our program will run June 5-June June 15, Monday to Thursday, 8:15-3:45
daily in Spartanburg on campus at SCSDB. 

 

We will focus on Braille, including slate and stylus, Nemeth and the abacus,
along with white cane travel and other nonvisual skills in a fun learning
environment. 

This is the fourth year of NFB BELL Academy in SC! We are looking forward to
seeing return students as well as meeting new students. Jamie Allison is
Braille literate and a certified classroom teacher. Jennifer Duffell-Hoffman
is the mother to two blind teenage boys. We are passionate about Braille
literacy, white cane travel and nonvisual skills and we teach these in a
positive and fun manner. Each summer our students have shown great progress
in skills and self-confidence. Please call Jennifer at 803-287-5391 or email
at jaduffell at yahoo.com with any questions or concerns.

 

Lunch:

Lunch and snack will be provided daily. Lunch will primarily consist of
sandwich meats and cheeses or peanut butter and jelly on bread or wraps with
carrots and fruit. Milk, juice and water served. No soda. Sweets will be
limited. Please tell Jennifer about any food allergies or other concerns.

 

Registration Fees:

A $40.00 fee is requested, but will be waived if cost prohibitive. Please
speak with Jennifer about fee and waiver if needed.

 

Transportation: We do not provide transportation.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
