Montessori deaf school given e-readers for class | TBO.com
Students at Clearwater Montessori school received a donation this morning that could change their lives.
Nurse On Call donated the funds for Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf in Clearwater, to purchase 22 e-readers from Barnes and Noble.
This morning, Jones gave out the E-Readers to the students. It looked like a scene from Christmas morning. Some of the children hugged each other. Some hugged Key Jones, who organized the fundraiser for Nurse On Call. Some simply hugged their E-Readers.
Carol Downing, associate director at the school, said the donation is clearly a blessing for the students and the teachers. "Literacy among deaf children shows that deaf children are far behind their hearing counterparts." Said Downing. "So when we get a chance to have a book in a child's hand that immediately gets them to read, that is improving their life all around."
The Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf is located in Clearwater and has about 30 students. It's a non-profit private school that's been open since 2003.
