Having clear vision is essential to a student's success in school. When the words in a textbook are blurry or the math problem on the whiteboard is hard to make out, it can be difficult for a student to follow along with the teacher's lesson and learn the content. Thankfully, programs exist like Vision to Learn! We are so fortunate that they have returned to Aliquippa for another year to provide vision screenings, eye exams, and eyeglasses to our students at no cost to their families! Many students are taking home their brand-new glasses today! Read more about this amazing organization here.

This program was paid for through a grant from DLC. Check out the pictures from the event here.

Sixteen students had the opportunity to visit Point Park University on November 1st.
