Literacy should be accessible to all, and DG is helping make that happen. As a DG school, the @LightTheWayBCC's DG Foundation Service for Sight grant will build students' literacy skills and make strong readers for life. #internationalliteracyday #serviceforsight #braille

The LAPD Football team, the Centurions, might have big muscles but they have even bigger hearts. They treated children at the Blind Children’s Center, along with their family & staff, to a picnic full of food, laughs & smiles — because “to protect & to serve” comes in many ways
