A Review of the Tour of Overbrook
  Last Tuesday, I visited Overbrook School for the Blind.  I was able to visit the classroom of the ninth graders. While I was there I saw a friend of mine and was able to “see” a few other people that I know.  Having these connections I believe will strongly impact my future there.  Mr.  Lee, the teacher, was very nice, and in my opinion a very effective teacher.  I preceded to visit the library, field house, the aquatic center and the track.  I love the technology that Overbrook has integrated in to their system.  For example, the aquatic center as technology that allows a blind person to know where the lanes of the pool are so that they are able to participate in swim meets.  I was able to see many different programs at the school while I was there, and  I believe that all of the programs are fun, and challenging.  All in all, I think that the school is very innovative and and interesting.
