👍🏽 School principals face real challenges. However, this is overshadowed by an incredible opportunity to establish positive school culture, set high expectations, provide supports, advance student outcomes, & unleash awesomeness for all under their care. S/O to principals! #laed

Teaching is a calling. We thank our teachers at @LouisianaSSD, @LAschoolDeaf, @LSVITrojanPride, @lassdcte, and the Special School Programs for answering the call. We appreciate all that you do for our young scholars here and wherever you may go. #EducationWithoutLimits #SSDofLa

Lee, a blind mechanic, uses a heightened sense of vibration to feel for signs of trouble, asking co-workers to double-check work that involves sound. While all new mechanics have their own stumbling blocks, Lee is one of the most reliable employees. newsobserver.com/news/local/com…
