But for the seniors of the class of 2020, this means that they are unable to have the commencement graduation ceremony that they have been anticipating for years. Along with other events such as Prom for high school seniors, the class of 2020 has unfortunately been forced to miss out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>As a result, the Ohio Association of Blind students is proud to announce a community project called “Adopt a Senior”. This is a community initiative in which those of the class of 2020 who are blind or visually impaired in Highschool or college can post a short biography of themselves in the Facebook group titled “NFB Adopt a Senior”. Then others within the NFB can support these students through interactions on the Facebook group and through the giving of gifts of any sort. This is where the Adopt part comes in. One would choose a student to send a gift to through the mail as a token of support. We hope to create a supportive and fun platform to support the class of 2020. To get involved either as an adopter or adoptee, please join the Facebook group titled NFB adopt a senior.
