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 />

Families of <strong>the</strong> graduates with<br />

Rubella and education staff from<br />

our school–in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Overbrook</strong> tradition<br />

of families of all kinds coming<br />

behind <strong>the</strong> creation of OFP.<br />

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 />
