Montana's News Station - Fair. Accurate. To the Point. -School for the Deaf and the Blind hold egg hunt
Hunting the elusive Egg is an Easter Tradition. Students at the Montana School for the Deaf and the Blind were tracking down their pastel
Kids from pre-school through 6th grade on are on the hunt but, this just isn't any regular Easter egg hunt. These students are a mix of visually and hearing impaired kids.
But, what truly makes it unique is that organizers have come up with a creative way to get visually impaired students to join in the fun.
They can listen for those beeper eggs and there will be an Easter egg right next to it so they'll be able to find the eggs.
The school has been using these audible eggs for more than five years and teachers say, it's just a simple way to include everyone in the fun.
"The biggest issue with our kids is that level of independence and just trying to get them involved in ways that they can do it on their own," says Geri Darko, visually impaired teacher.
Although the kids were excited about the hunt, the real Easter fun kicks off on Sunday.
