A Special Thank You from Mrs. Ezell

I wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for all of the love, support, and generous donations you made towards the purchase of my new IrisVision glasses. For those of you who do not remember,  I have been visually impaired since age 12, and currently I use low-vision assistive technology to help me in my daily activities. With advances in technology, there has been the creation of IrisVision glasses. IrisVision has teamed up with Samsung and several universities such as UCLA, Cal Berkeley, and John Hopkins, to create these amazing glasses though the use of virtual reality goggles and magnifiers. The glasses will assist people who are visually impaired to see things easier. My vision is normally 20/240 (legally blind is 20/200) and with the glasses on my vision is 20/30. I am in complete awe as these will change the way I do and see things on a daily basis. Additionally, I am in awe at the generous donations people have come forward with to help me purchase these glasses. I am humbled and touched by the love from your children and your families. I will forever be grateful to each of you for this gift. The glasses are arriving today and I will be using these last few weeks of school.....yay!!!!
