Students at Perkins School for the Blind were all smiles as they returned for the first day of school on Sept. 6 – despite the overcast sky and on-and-off drizzle.
As their buses pulled up to the school buildings, students were greeted by a community of Perkins teachers and staff, who ventured into the rain to welcome them back to campus.
Once off the bus, students ventured into their new classrooms and reconnected with friends and classmates they had missed over the summer. Then they got to work. Students dove into academics, physical education, music and life skills lessons – pursing their passions and discussing the challenging milestones the upcoming year has in store.
