If interested, show up ready for a learning workout!

See what S.E.E. is doing!

S.E.E. After School Winston traveled to Antarctica on our world Wednesday journey. We created penguins from Oreo cookies, white icing, candy corn, and chocolate chips. We learned lots of cool facts about this frozen desert of a continent while being playful like the penguins that live there.

Community Low Vision Center

CLVC Item of the Week:

Blindshell Classic 2 Cell Phone (with free Case) for $499.00

The BlindShell Classic 2 Cell Phone is the perfect phone for those who are visually impaired. Thanks to its updated design, improved tactile keypad, larger screen with more information displayed for easier reading, and enhanced voice control functionality, it is easier than ever to use your cellular device if you have a visual impairment or other disability that can make using a standard smartphone or cell phone difficult. The BlindShell Classic 2 Cell Phone works exclusively on T-Mobile in the USA.

 

CLVC January Item of the Month:

2023 Calendars are available! Prices range between $6.95 and $14.99 based on size, including Big Print, Giant, or Jumbo.

Youth LEAD NC’s virtual monthly LEADing On Series

Youth LEAD NC’s virtual monthly LEADing On Series starts back up on Monday, January 30th from 7PM-8PM! Do you want help sticking to your New Year’s resolution?

If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then this month’s LEADing On Series is for you because it is all about goal setting!

Please join us as Nellie Galindo presents “SMART Goals” and how to stick with them! There will also be an opportunity for you to share your goals for this year and develop a step-by-step plan to achieve your goals. Who knows, you might meet someone else with a similar goal!
