Arbor celebrates White Cane Day in honor of visually impaired
Arbor Intermediate School celebrated White Cane Day on Wednesday, which honors those who are blind or visually impaired, and the white cane is a symbol of independence! Students are reading “Louis Braille’s Gift to the Blind” by Tanya Anderson, which is part of the 4th grade curriculum. Teachers throughout the building are also teaching supporting activities. Staff wore T-shirts with the saying, “It is a cane, not a stick,” and a quote from Helen Keller: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Money raised from the shirt sale goes directly toward purchasing assistive technology for students who are blind or visually impaired. Fourth-grader Grace Mejia and her family were thrilled with the support and increased awareness.
