Centennial Student Impacts Hillside

 

This past Monday Hillside Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with Read Across America Day. For this event, the Hillside Media Center staff invited members of the community to read to the students. 

 

Among the members of the community was a Centennial student named Yesie, a totally blind student who is part of the Community Based Instruction (CBI) program. Yesie was invited to read a book in braille to groups of 3^rd graders.  After reading the story, Yesie talked to the students about braille.  Seated next to Yesie is her teacher, Michael Silverman, showing the book in print.
