The Ohio Department of Health vision & hearing screenings have been completed recently at Montgomery Elementary for kindergarten, first and third grade students. The goal of the school screening program is to identify children who have possible vision or hearing disorders at an early age & refer for diagnosis and care by vision and hearing specialists.

This year’s screening program was a huge success both in reassuring our students, and in identifying those children in need of further care.

A heartfelt “Thank You” to the following parents and friends of Montgomery Elementary who volunteered their time and energies to these important screenings:

Terry Lee Davis

Lauren Carrier

Alicia Murphy

Cindy Cohen

Michelle Breen (parent coordinator)

Jessica Carroll

Molly Duffey

Rich Linville

Carrie Steenbergen

Sara Buitendacht

Seon Keum

Gina Hissong

Stacy Crook
