MT School for the Deaf and Blind Holds Annual Easter Egg Hunt | News, Sports, Weather for Great Falls, Helena, and all of Montana | Local Top Stories
For the children at The Montana School for the Deaf and Blind, a "beep" is the sound of the annual Easter egg hunt.
With a lawn of bright colored eggs for the hearing impaired students and beeping eggs for the visually impaired students, the hunt was on. And even with the extra challenges, these kids were wasting no time.
"It's just one of the fun things that we do every year, and it's enjoyable for everybody," said sophomore Thyra Wood. "Let's everybody know it's spring break time."
School tradition holds that the sophomores organize the event for the younger children every year, but there is a very small class of 2013.
"I'm the only sophomore, so I help hide the eggs. The cottages boil the eggs and dye them," said Wood.
Volunteers from the Qwest Pioneers have been sponsoring the hunt for years, designing and building the audible eggs.
The former and active telephone company employees help with projects at the school throughout the year, but it's this annual Easter egg hunt that always brings something special.
"It just kinda tickles you to see the kids so happy over a little gift and finding the eggs," said Margaret Smith with the Pioneers.
