Hello folks and welcome to another edition of Dorm Happenings here on the campus of KSB. On Sunday after a meal prepared by dorm staff the small group of students had open gym and game time at the recreation gym with Mr. Larry Rhodes.

On Monday the students were flying kites and riding bikes around campus and playing outside on the playground.

On Tuesday the dorm students traveled to the Big 4 bridge for a walk across the Ohio river and enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the gentle flow of the river and discussing the history of the old railroad bridge.

On Wednesday the dorm outing was a on campus adventure with music and watching the big screen and discussing a possible dance we would possibly be attempting to do as a group.

On Thursday the elementary students went on a trip to the bowling alley and ate pizza while the middle and high school groups were busy at the recreation gym making and eating Icees and watching the Big Screen TV and playing pool.

It has been a busy week with lots of good things going at the dorm and want to remind everyone of the upcoming audible egg hunt on campus Sunday March 23rd from 5-7.

We wish everyone a fun and safe weekend and look forward to seeing everyone next week.

Until Next Time.

The National Federation of the Blind of Kentucky in partnership with the Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired, and sponsored by the Kentucky School for the Blind Charitable Foundation is excited to host this accessible egg hunt and information fair! This event is open to all blind and low vision children birth to grade twelve and their families.
