The 2017 Great Lakes Braille Readers Are Leaders Contest (Great Lakes BRAL)
has come to an end. All of the Great Lakes affiliates took part in this
first multi-state competition for K-12 Braille readers: Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
Fourty-four students registered for the contest, and thirty-nine submitted
reading logs. Altogether the participants read a whopping 16,540 Braille
pages! The first-place winner in the grades 6-8 category, and the top reader
in the entire contest, is Anthony Spears, a seventh grader from Mattoon,
Illinois. Anthony (who goes by LT) read 4,015 Braille pages during the
contest period, which ran between December 1 and January 20!

 

Below is a list of the 2017 Great Lakes BRAL winners, presented by grade
category. Thank you to all the families and teachers who supported the 2017
Great Lakes BRAL Contest!
