Students in the VISION Program put their skills to the test, designing and building a personalized cornhole set from start to finish. With guidance from Liz Demag, they even sewed their own cornhole bags. The final product turned out beautifully!

Now, the VISION team has been tasked with creating six more sets for the SACS P.E. Department. Construction is already underway, and the new boards will be ready for action soon!
