Thanks Mike for your 20 years of service!

Mike supports our Trustee, Penny, who is Deaf. Although Mike doesn’t know #BSL, he wrote little messages to help conversations flow more easily. Penny was deeply touched by his effort & kindness.

Every child can learn, and routines help make that possible. 🇲🇽

Natalia María walks us through the calendar she uses at home for her after-school routine. With #Braille and tangible symbols, it helps her understand what's next, build independence & confidently navigate each day.

Tomorrow is Helen Keller’s birthday AND it's #InternationalDayOfDeafblindness

Helen was a true pioneer for people who are deafblind. She proved that education & opportunity should be accessible to all.
