We have a dynamic guest speaker, parent and educator workshops, and of course, the Braille Challenge for the students. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please encourage students to come for the day (even if their braille skills aren't great...) It will be a day of fun, food, workshops, activities, prizes, music, and camaraderie. You are welcome and encouraged to join us as well. If you would like to volunteer to assist on this day, please let me know via return email message.
