Governing Board Recognize February Shining Stars

Shining Stars

Aby and Megan are both students at Buffalo Grove High School, in District 214 and are receiving vision and orientation and mobility services through NSSEO. Working together, the girls created a business plan to raise awareness for the blind and visually impaired throughout their school.  The business plan was to produce and sell chocolate covered pretzels resembling white canes to the students and faculty of Buffalo Grove High School. The “white cane pretzels” were attached with braille quotes raising further awareness. By engaging with the faculty and their peers, Aby and Megan were able to raise $300, as well as inform the school about the importance of braille and white canes for the visually impaired. Aby and Megan chose to donate the profits to Limbs International on behalf of their case manager at Buffalo Grove High School. We are so proud of these shining stars!
