Yesterday we celebrated White Cane Day 2022 at La Expedición de Anza Cultural History Park with cultural stories, food and fun!

Our ASB and ASD students went from station to station learning about: bats and echolocation, how to sign Mexican Sign Language, and what their name looks and feels like in Braille!

Thank you to everyone for joining us and making this day unforgettable for our students!
