First Graders Have Special Visitors
Submitted by Kristy Long, Timber Creek Elementary
Mrs. Ruth Dominy brought three of her special friends to visit the first graders. We were so excited to meet Mr. and Mrs. Durham and Henry. Mrs. Durham is blind, and Henry is her guide dog. Mr. and Mrs. Durham gave us some very interesting information about what it is like for Mrs. Durham to be blind. They showed us several tools she uses in her everyday life. The Durhams even gave every student an alphabet braille card. We also learned about Henry and how he helps Mrs. Durham. We felt so lucky to have such special visitors!
