<h1><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color:black;">Ring Your Bells for NFB BELL® Academy!</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Come join us for another year of friendships, fun, and fast-growing confidence! This summer our young blind and low-vision BELL ringers will grow their leadership capabilities as they strengthen their Braille skills and confidence in nonvisual learning. Our theme this year is, "I Can Lead!" Children love getting to know other blind and low-vision children as they learn Braille and other nonvisual skills through games, crafts, interactive lessons, and field trips. They will learn from highly qualified teachers and confident blind adult role models. Your child is sure to come home with stronger skills, a network of new friends, and greater
confidence to propel them through the next school year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Our list of participating states continues to grow. Please review details of each program for specific program information.</span></p>
