Holy Trinity School students from 7th Grade were visited by a student from the St. Lucy School for Students with Visual Impairments as the culminating event of their English Language Arts (ELA) Unit. The unit focused on perseverance as a character trait, and included studying the life of Helen Keller and other historical figures who persevered through adversity. The visit by Sister Lisa Ann Lettiere, IHM and 11-year-old Kyla marks the fifth year for this collaborative lesson between the two schools. This real-world learning activity and curriculum connection was under the direction of Mr. Jeffrey McCusker, the 7th and 8th Grade ELA teacher and school vice principal. Sister Lisa brought many of the adaptive devices the students at the St. Lucy School use to learn, and demonstrated their use to the Holy Trinity students.
