CESA 12 students have superpowers! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️
Our amazing Braille readers celebrated Braille Literacy Awareness Month in January by reading to kindergarteners, teaching classmates about Braille, and even transcribing a menu into Braille for a local coffee shop ☕📖. These students work incredibly hard to build skills that set them up for success in school and beyond—and we couldn’t be more proud to help them unlock the superpower of Braille literacy! 💙✨

Braille opens doors to independence, education, and employment for people who are blind or visually impaired. Let’s celebrate the power of touch, access, and literacy—and continue advocating for inclusive learning for all. 💪📚 #BrailleLiteracyMonth #AccessibilityMatters #Inclusion #BrailleIsNotObsolete

We’re proud to highlight Jackson, a Drummond High School student in our Youth Apprenticeship program under the Transportation, Distribution & Logistics pathway. Jackson has been gaining hands-on experience with Dockside Services LLC. He is learning real-world skills like safely pulling docks and lifts out of the water, equipment operation, customer service, and the importance of teamwork and reliability.
A huge thank you to Riley Welhaven for being such a fantastic YA mentor and giving Jackson the opportunity to learn and grow in the field!
We appreciate our community partners who help our students build meaningful career skills. Great job, Jackson!
