Message from <strong>the</strong><br />
President and <strong>the</strong><br />
Director<br />
We adults and<br />
children, education<br />
professionals and<br />
families, administrators and<br />
board members, support staffs<br />
and individuals–all of various<br />
backgrounds, educations, and<br />
cultural heritages–happily come<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r day after day and<br />
year after year on behalf of<br />
<strong>the</strong> students.<br />
All of our students have<br />
visual impairments, some have<br />
multiple impairments, some are<br />
deafblind, and all are special in<br />
<strong>the</strong> best, most positive sense of<br />
<strong>the</strong> word. They and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
families are <strong>the</strong> focal point of<br />
our school, which itself is a<br />
family constructed from many<br />
families. Our community, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>OSB</strong> family, has <strong>the</strong> strength,<br />
resources, and compassion of<br />
<strong>the</strong> many. Separately we do<br />
good things. Toge<strong>the</strong>r we do<br />
great things.<br />
And how do we know this?<br />
Our knowledge begins with<br />
<strong>OSB</strong>’s idealistically pragmatic<br />
vision and mission statements.<br />
With each student, regardless of<br />
his or her abilities, we aim high:<br />
to provide <strong>the</strong> greatest opportunity<br />
<strong>for</strong> an active and fulfilling<br />
life and to inspire achievements<br />
according to <strong>the</strong> highest<br />
individual potential. We follow<br />
through with <strong>the</strong> best teachers<br />
and paraeducators; a dedicated<br />
<strong>the</strong>rapy, audiology, and O&M<br />
department; mainstream,<br />
adaptive, and accessible<br />
technology; inclusive and<br />
challenging extra curricular<br />
activities, including music,<br />
<strong>the</strong>atre, and sports; job training<br />
and placement; and expansive<br />
transition services.<br />
But how do we know that<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r we do great things?<br />
Although <strong>the</strong>re are many<br />
proofs along <strong>the</strong> way as we<br />
observe, track, and celebrate <strong>the</strong><br />
progress of our students, <strong>the</strong><br />
final proof lies with our graduates,<br />
and this year’s graduating<br />
class is proof positive.<br />
The graduates stood out <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ir personal accomplishments,<br />
even as <strong>the</strong>y represented <strong>the</strong><br />
life of <strong>the</strong> school with <strong>the</strong><br />
broad range of what <strong>the</strong>y<br />
accomplished throughout <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
school years.<br />
Toge<strong>the</strong>r and individually<br />
<strong>the</strong>y have excelled. Two of <strong>the</strong><br />
June 2010 graduates, in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
senior year, presented an<br />
overview of a particularly useful<br />
and complicated assistive<br />
technology device to a group of<br />
educators. Many of <strong>the</strong>m held<br />
on- and off-campus jobs during<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir student years. They<br />
excelled in sports, won art<br />
awards and sold <strong>the</strong>ir art work,<br />
wrote and starred in <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
<strong>the</strong>atre workshop creations.<br />
Some are on <strong>the</strong>ir way to<br />
training programs, group<br />
homes, and <strong>the</strong> warmth of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
families. Some are going to<br />
college, and some are already<br />
gainfully employed. They have<br />
all learned about <strong>the</strong>mselves and<br />
<strong>the</strong> world, and <strong>the</strong>y are poised<br />
to continue to learn using <strong>the</strong><br />
foundation we have helped<br />
<strong>the</strong>m erect.<br />
They have been and <strong>the</strong>y<br />
remain integral members of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>OSB</strong> family. We are proud of<br />
<strong>the</strong>m and of <strong>the</strong> great things<br />
that we’ve done toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Now, we invite you to read a<br />
bit more about who we are and<br />
what we do as we honor <strong>the</strong><br />
many individuals, groups, and<br />
benefactors who comprise <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>OSB</strong> family.<br />

Imagine a very large, diverse, and loving<br />
community, one that inspires, nurtures, and<br />
supports its members, wherever <strong>the</strong>y come<br />
from and wherever <strong>the</strong>y go. The members of this<br />
community are individuals and families with a<br />
singular vision and mission: To help people with<br />
visual impairments and blindness–some with<br />
additional issues, and some who are deafblind–<br />
to achieve <strong>the</strong>ir highest potential and to provide<br />
<strong>the</strong> greatest opportunity to experience active<br />
and fulfilling lives.<br />

The community is<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong>–a family,<br />
really, made up of many<br />
families, most of <strong>the</strong>m<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Pennsylvania<br />
counties of<br />
Philadelphia, Bucks,<br />
Delaware, Chester and<br />
Montgomery, some<br />
from o<strong>the</strong>r states, and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs from overseas.<br />
Our on campus<br />
programs include <strong>the</strong><br />
Early Childhood<br />
component of <strong>the</strong> Early<br />
Intervention Program (EIP);<br />
Elementary; Middle <strong>School</strong>;<br />
High <strong>School</strong>; <strong>School</strong> to Work;<br />
Work Experience; <strong>the</strong> Aquatics<br />
and Residential Progams; <strong>the</strong><br />
White Hall Independent Living<br />
Program; and Occupational,<br />
Physical, and Speech Therapy,<br />
Orientation and Mobility,<br />
and Audiology services.<br />
Combined, <strong>the</strong>se programs serve<br />
students between three and<br />
21 years of age.<br />
Our off campus programs<br />
are both local and international.<br />
Off Campus<br />
Local and International<br />
Outreach<br />
Early Intervention Program (EIP)<br />
Through EIP’s Early Intervention<br />
Outreach component, last year we<br />
served 240 families whose children<br />
with visual impairments range in<br />
age from birth to three; and<br />
through <strong>the</strong> Pre-<strong>School</strong><br />
Community component, we served<br />
36 families with three- to five-yearolds<br />
who have visual impairments.<br />
“We provide quality service to<br />
<strong>the</strong> families in <strong>the</strong>ir homes and in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir communities,” one of <strong>OSB</strong>’s<br />
educators says. “There’s a difference<br />
in delivery from family to family,<br />
from need to need.”<br />
EIP’s annual Summer<br />
Workshop reaches out to families<br />
with babies who are visually<br />
impaired or blind but are not<br />
currently served by us in o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
ways. The workshop provides<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation and helps to build a<br />
sense of community among <strong>the</strong><br />
participants.<br />
Sixteen families attended <strong>the</strong><br />
recent Summer Workshop. Among<br />
<strong>the</strong> many written comments from<br />
parents at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> workshop,<br />
this one captures <strong>the</strong> general<br />
consensus as well as <strong>the</strong> flavor of<br />
<strong>the</strong> three-day event:<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong> Annual Report 2009-2010 Page 3
“Coming to Summer Workshop<br />
was such a relief–just<br />
to meet o<strong>the</strong>r parents and<br />
adults who ‘get it.’ It has<br />
been emotional, supportive,<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mative, encouraging,<br />
and building. And it’s been<br />
nice to have my daughter so<br />
well taken care of so I could<br />
focus on learning and<br />
building relationships. I<br />
learned a lot about what to<br />
do now, how to prepare <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> future, and <strong>the</strong> kinds of<br />
questions I need to continue<br />
to ask. And I have new<br />
friends I can identify with.<br />
I don’t feel so alone.”<br />
International Program<br />
The International Program<br />
continues to serve Chinese<br />
educators and through <strong>the</strong><br />
educators <strong>the</strong>ir students who are<br />
blind or visually impaired in<br />
China. This past year we started to<br />
use distance learning as a way to<br />
share in<strong>for</strong>mation with all of those<br />
who work in <strong>the</strong> field of education<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> visually impaired in China.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> work of ON-NET<br />
(<strong>Overbrook</strong>-Nippon Network on<br />
Educational Technology) we also<br />
continue to have a strong and<br />
positive impact in Sou<strong>the</strong>ast Asia.<br />
We had an expanded RAC<br />
(Regional Advisory Committee)<br />
meeting to discuss and look <strong>for</strong><br />
ways to address local and<br />
regional needs.<br />
Both components of <strong>the</strong><br />
International Program provide<br />
funding and training to local<br />
partners, enabling <strong>the</strong>m to work<br />
toward total independence, while<br />
addressing <strong>the</strong>ir particular needs<br />
and circumstances.<br />
On Campus<br />
Early Childhood,<br />
Elementary, and<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
<strong>Family</strong> relationships of all kinds<br />
might be most apparent in EIP’s<br />
Early Childhood (EC), where <strong>the</strong><br />
students, three to five years of age,<br />
are having <strong>the</strong>ir first full time, on<br />
campus school experience. For <strong>the</strong><br />
primary family unit, <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong><br />
huge change of having to trust<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> to care <strong>for</strong> and educate<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir child. For <strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is<br />
<strong>the</strong> challenge to make <strong>the</strong> entire<br />
family feel honored and respected<br />
and to bring <strong>the</strong>m into <strong>the</strong> <strong>Overbrook</strong><br />
family.<br />
Working with all <strong>the</strong> joy and<br />
intensity of a family, <strong>the</strong> Early<br />
Childhood education staff starts<br />
welcoming, com<strong>for</strong>ting, teaching,<br />
and entertaining <strong>the</strong>ir new and<br />
returning students from <strong>the</strong> first<br />
day. Then, throughout <strong>the</strong> school<br />
year, <strong>the</strong>re are ga<strong>the</strong>rings with staff,<br />
students, and <strong>the</strong> students’ families.<br />
Games and learning experiences<br />
abound and refreshments<br />
are served.<br />

One recurring event called Dogs<br />
(meaning hot dog) <strong>for</strong> Dads pays<br />
particular attention to <strong>the</strong> men in<br />
our EC students’ lives. This year,<br />
in addition to <strong>the</strong> wives and<br />
husbands, uncles and bro<strong>the</strong>rs and<br />
significant o<strong>the</strong>rs who came, <strong>the</strong><br />
men of <strong>the</strong> <strong>OSB</strong> Maintenance staff<br />
added to <strong>the</strong> festivities. The youngsters<br />
were so happy with <strong>the</strong> added<br />
attention that <strong>the</strong>y sent thank you<br />
cards to <strong>the</strong>ir new mentors.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> 2009-2010 school<br />
year, in which we served approximately<br />
220 students on campus,<br />
EC had a record number of 60<br />
children, more than 25 percent of<br />
<strong>the</strong> entire enrollment.<br />
There were 43 Elementary<br />
students this past year, ages six<br />
through 10. As with all <strong>OSB</strong><br />
programs, <strong>the</strong> students’ education<br />
is tailored to particular needs and<br />
abilities as drawn out in <strong>the</strong><br />
Individual Education Plans (IEPs).<br />
This is done, partly, through<br />
monthly <strong>the</strong>mes that incorporate<br />
Pennsylvania state standards <strong>for</strong><br />
social studies and science and<br />
utilize hands-on activities and<br />
multi-sensory experience, adapted<br />
to <strong>the</strong> individual student’s needs.<br />
With <strong>the</strong> entire program located<br />
in Biddle House, <strong>the</strong> family aspects<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Elementary staff are easily<br />
seen. Classrooms are close to each<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r, a special garden is just<br />
outside, and when you enter<br />
Biddle, you see <strong>the</strong> children and<br />
education staff interacting,<br />
learning, teaching, supporting<br />
each o<strong>the</strong>r, and having fun.<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong> Annual Report 2009-2010 Page 5
As with all programs, Middle<br />
<strong>School</strong>, which served 33 students<br />
last year, emphasizes literacy and<br />
communication skills. The program<br />
educates children between 11<br />
and 14 years of age with academic,<br />
functional academic, life skills, and<br />
experiential components. Academic<br />
students follow <strong>the</strong> typical curriculum<br />
<strong>for</strong> students <strong>the</strong>ir age.<br />
The familial aspect of <strong>OSB</strong> is<br />
always in evidence when children<br />
move up from one program to<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r. It is usual <strong>for</strong> parents,<br />
students, support staff, and<br />
education staff to come toge<strong>the</strong>r to<br />
cheer <strong>the</strong> students in <strong>the</strong> auditorium<br />
as <strong>the</strong>y prepare to move from<br />
Elementary to Middle <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Smiles, laughter, tears, pride, and<br />
awards abound–as <strong>the</strong>y do within<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r programs–with families and<br />
staff coming toge<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong><br />
common cause of doing all that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y can do to celebrate <strong>the</strong><br />
students’ accomplishments.<br />
High <strong>School</strong> (HS), <strong>School</strong><br />
to Work (STW), and <strong>the</strong><br />
Work Experience Program<br />
(WEP)<br />
Throughout most of <strong>the</strong> last school<br />
year, <strong>OSB</strong> educators and administrators<br />
set <strong>the</strong> framework to expand<br />
and fully implement our Extended<br />
<strong>School</strong> Year (ESY). As a result, in<br />
addition to serving eligible<br />
Elementary students, ESY now also<br />
serves <strong>the</strong> eligible students in<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong>, High <strong>School</strong>, and<br />
<strong>School</strong> to Work. One program<br />
coordinator, seems to speak <strong>for</strong><br />
everyone when she says, “ESY is<br />
huge. Those six weeks in <strong>the</strong><br />
summer are very important.<br />
Having <strong>the</strong> students continue<br />
following <strong>the</strong>ir IEPs past June, in a<br />
fun and friendly atmosphere,<br />
continues <strong>the</strong>ir education and<br />
preparation <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> world.”<br />
<strong>OSB</strong>’s HS students are between<br />
15 and 18 years of age. Depending<br />
upon <strong>the</strong>ir needs and abilities, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
follow a typical academic curriculum<br />
that prepares <strong>the</strong>m <strong>for</strong> college,<br />
technical school, or competitive<br />
employment; or <strong>the</strong>y follow a<br />
functional academic program with<br />
core curriculum classes designed to<br />
help <strong>the</strong>m lead independent lives.<br />
<strong>School</strong> to Work serves students<br />
who are 19 - 21 years of age. With<br />
a focus on preparing <strong>the</strong> students<br />
to lead productive and satisfying<br />
lives, transition planning is an<br />
important part of <strong>the</strong> program.<br />
Forty-eight students were served<br />
by <strong>the</strong> HS this past year and 33 by<br />
STW. A total of 26 students<br />
graduated this June–<strong>the</strong> largest<br />
graduating class since 1972. But<br />
Page 6 <strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong> Annual Report 2009-2010
<strong>the</strong> HS and STW students didn’t<br />
just graduate. They excelled, each<br />
going his or her own way to a<br />
four-year college, training program,<br />
two-year college, employment, or<br />
some o<strong>the</strong>r “next step” commensurate<br />
with <strong>the</strong>ir current abilities,<br />
needs, and interests.<br />
Many of <strong>the</strong>se young men and<br />
women were part of <strong>the</strong> phenomenally<br />
successful <strong>the</strong>ater workshop<br />
that was presented as part of <strong>the</strong><br />
spring concert. They wrote,<br />
per<strong>for</strong>med, and sang works-inprogress<br />
that represent <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
thoughts, feelings, and life<br />
experiences.<br />
“Each family is different<br />
and we respect those<br />
differences and work<br />
with <strong>the</strong>m.”<br />
An <strong>OSB</strong> teacher<br />
“The life experiences that<br />
our students bring to<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> are wide<br />
ranging. Nuclear families,<br />
religious and non-religious<br />
families, extended families,<br />
and families capable of<br />
varying degrees of financial<br />
and emotional support. But<br />
here, at school, <strong>the</strong> students<br />
create an additional family<br />
atmosphere. They are<br />
loving, caring, and<br />
dynamic. They consistently<br />
help each o<strong>the</strong>r.”<br />
A program coordinator<br />
Work Experience is an elective<br />
program <strong>for</strong> students, starting in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Elementary years and ending<br />
upon graduation. On campus,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is a production area, where<br />
students fulfill <strong>the</strong> demands of two<br />
workshop contracts. O<strong>the</strong>r on<br />
campus work includes brailling,<br />
delivering papers, and making Tshirt<br />
imprints.<br />
Two students distinguished<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves over <strong>the</strong> past two years<br />
working on campus with <strong>the</strong><br />
Maintenance department. O<strong>the</strong>r<br />
students worked as aides during <strong>the</strong><br />
summer <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> extended school<br />
year. Off campus, students worked<br />
in such commercial enterprises as a<br />
local bakery and a uni<strong>for</strong>m supply<br />
company.<br />
Living on Campus<br />
The White Hall Independent<br />
Living Project came fully into its<br />
own this past year. Long in <strong>the</strong><br />
planning, <strong>the</strong> implementation of<br />
this transition program has been a<br />
resounding success.<br />
A program coordinator was<br />
designated and a teacher hired to<br />
implement a full time education<br />
program. Students were assessed on<br />
entry level skills and given classes<br />
in all areas of independent living.<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong> Annual Report 2009-2010 Page 7
Thirteen <strong>OSB</strong> students lived in<br />
<strong>the</strong> White Hall apartments this<br />
past year-eight young men and five<br />
young women. They are a diverse<br />
group from Philadelphia and <strong>the</strong><br />
suburbs. Ten are African American,<br />
two are Caucasian, and one is<br />
Hispanic.<br />
The coordinator reports that <strong>the</strong><br />
students’ parents were initially a<br />
little hesitant and concerned about<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir children living away from<br />
home, “but after a very short time,<br />
<strong>the</strong> students’ enthusiasm and<br />
increased independence changed<br />
<strong>the</strong> concern to pride in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
children’s accomplishments.”<br />
Although we are primarily a<br />
commuter school, <strong>OSB</strong><br />
additionally provides a warm and<br />
welcoming environment <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
few students who live on campus<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Friedlander dormitory<br />
during <strong>the</strong> week.<br />
Friedlander has all <strong>the</strong> amenities<br />
that one associates with “home,”<br />
including private bedrooms, community<br />
rooms, games, television,<br />
camaraderie, off campus trips, and<br />
various celebrations, both planned<br />
(as in <strong>the</strong> annual Thanksgiving dinner)<br />
and impromptu parties. All, of<br />
course, supervised by carefully<br />
chosen staff, who foster a sense of<br />
independence in <strong>the</strong> students.<br />
“From last year one<br />
mom and her little<br />
girl stick out in my<br />
memory. The girl had<br />
just started Early<br />
Childhood, and mom<br />
was nervous, caring,<br />
well meaning. Would<br />
her little girl be OK in<br />
a new place with new<br />
faces after being home<br />
with her <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />
three years of life?<br />
The little girl and<br />
her family are being<br />
well cared <strong>for</strong> at<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong>, and <strong>the</strong>y<br />
remain really involved<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir child’s development.<br />
They ask<br />
about what <strong>the</strong>y can<br />
do at home to promote<br />
<strong>the</strong> goals of <strong>the</strong> little<br />
girl’s IEP and help<br />
her to enjoy leisure<br />
activities and have<br />
access to communication<br />
devices wherever<br />
she goes.<br />
The girl’s combined<br />
challenges, including<br />
physical and vocal<br />
restrictions, were and<br />
continue to be successfully<br />
addressed by a<br />
team approach that<br />
included an OT, PT,<br />
and audiologist<br />
working with o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
staff and–of course!–<br />
<strong>the</strong> family.”<br />

Fifteen <strong>the</strong>rapists and one audiologist<br />
provided a variety of <strong>the</strong>rapies<br />
(from one to a combination of four<br />
<strong>the</strong>rapies) to 188 students; and five<br />
full time O&M specialists (plus<br />
one O&M specialist who divided<br />
her time between on campus<br />
(40%) and off campus programs)<br />
served <strong>the</strong> needs of approximately<br />
142 students during <strong>the</strong> past school<br />
year.<br />
The Therapy Department<br />
supports each individual student’s<br />
ability to access his or her education<br />
program and environment.<br />
The <strong>the</strong>rapists, audiologist, and<br />
O&M instructors work directly<br />
with students as well as through<br />
staff consultation and training and<br />
provide training and support <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> students’ families.<br />
Additionally, <strong>the</strong> Therapy<br />
Department works with Salus<br />
University to provide low vision<br />
examinations on our campus <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>OSB</strong> students who are at <strong>the</strong><br />
transition ages of two, four, six,<br />
10,14, 17, and 20. This past school<br />
year, <strong>the</strong> Low Vision Clinic served<br />
a total of 60 students.<br />
<strong>OSB</strong> is a com<strong>for</strong>table,<br />
giving place. The typical<br />
family, bringing <strong>the</strong>ir child<br />
here, fears <strong>the</strong> unknown.<br />
At least that was my<br />
personal experience. But<br />
<strong>the</strong> school educated all of us<br />
and helped us, as a family,<br />
to move <strong>for</strong>ward in our<br />
relationships with each<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r and to understand<br />
each o<strong>the</strong>r better. It was,<br />
<strong>for</strong> me, a great and<br />
trans<strong>for</strong>ming experience.”<br />

A Special Place<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> <strong>Overbrook</strong><br />
Friedlander Programs (OFP) is a<br />
separate entity from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Overbrook</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong>, our annual<br />
report would not be complete<br />
if we failed to recognize its<br />
accomplishments.<br />
OFP was founded in 1986 to<br />
address <strong>the</strong> needs of women and<br />
men graduating from our school,<br />
who had Congenital Rubella<br />
Syndrome <strong>for</strong> which <strong>the</strong>re were no<br />
services available.<br />
Between July 1, 2009, and<br />
June 30, 2010, OFP provided<br />
services to 16 women and men in<br />
Community Homes and 22<br />
women and men on campus in <strong>the</strong><br />
Wynnewood apartments and day<br />
programs.<br />

our school–in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Overbrook</strong> tradition<br />
of families of all kinds coming<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r–were <strong>the</strong> driving <strong>for</strong>ce<br />
behind <strong>the</strong> creation of OFP.<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Blind</strong> Annual Report 2009-2010 Page 9
Highlights<br />
Art Show<br />
The Greater Philadelphia community came toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> <strong>OSB</strong> community <strong>for</strong> a grand and dazzling on campus art show.<br />
Professional artists who have shown and sold <strong>the</strong>ir work in Center City and o<strong>the</strong>r area galleries, as well as accomplished staff and<br />
student artists, displayed <strong>the</strong>ir work (oil paintings, watercolors, photography, sculptures, and multimedia pieces), much of it bought on<br />
<strong>the</strong> spot by appreciative guests. Part of <strong>the</strong> proceeds from <strong>the</strong> sales and in some cases all of <strong>the</strong> proceeds were donated to <strong>the</strong> school.<br />
Graduation<br />
A very large graduating class and two honored alumni were among <strong>the</strong> special aspects of this year’s commencement ceremony. Of<br />
greater import than numbers, however, was <strong>the</strong> lifetime accomplishments of Joanne Malatesta Davidoff (class of 1950), a champion<br />
of braille literacy who taught at our school <strong>for</strong> more than 24 years, and Louis Quay (1966), a world traveler and International Trade<br />
Specialist who worked <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> U.S. Commerce Department. (For a sampling of <strong>the</strong> accomplishments of this year’s graduates, please see<br />
<strong>the</strong> President and Director’s Message.)<br />
Golf Outing<br />
<strong>Overbrook</strong>’s first annual golf tournament, co-sponsored by P.E.R.C., <strong>OSB</strong>’s parent organization, raised more than $15,000 <strong>for</strong> our<br />
school. Major corporate sponsors included Cooke & Bieler, Bridge View Paper Company, and Powers Craft Parker and Beard,<br />
Inc., whose foursome took first place on <strong>the</strong> welcoming and challenging Westover Country Club course.<br />

Collaboration with Kutztown<br />
Under <strong>the</strong> direction of Dr. David Ross (Department of Special<br />
Education) 13 Kutztown University students came to our campus<br />
approximately every two weeks over a three month period to observe,<br />
assist, and learn in <strong>the</strong> classroom as well as in <strong>the</strong> Friedlander dormitory<br />
and White Hall independent living apartments. The Kutztown teachersin-training<br />
gained real-world experience and our teachers had <strong>the</strong><br />
opportunity to see, discuss, and evaluate <strong>the</strong> latest pedagogical<br />
approaches and techniques.<br />
Special Concert<br />
Songs from <strong>the</strong> Beatles, per<strong>for</strong>mances by <strong>the</strong> Bell Choir,<br />
Choir, and Mixed Ensemble–and a one-act musical<br />
celebration called “Through Our Eyes”–made <strong>the</strong><br />
spring concert very special indeed. Written by students<br />
over a period of months in <strong>the</strong> <strong>OSB</strong> Writing Workshop,<br />
“Through Our Eyes” dramatized in ways both emotionally<br />
moving and humorous <strong>the</strong>ir thoughts and feelings<br />
about visual impairment, <strong>OSB</strong>, families, friends, and<br />
life in general. A grant from CVS Pharmacy and <strong>the</strong><br />
hands-on support of <strong>the</strong> Amarylis Theatre Company<br />
helped to make <strong>the</strong> evening possible.<br />
