Angelica (photo to right) and Jennifer, below, make the Honor Roll and hold an arm full of other awards. Congratulations to both of you from AGBNV.
Way to go ... Edwin and Nameer - you are wonderful role models for families that have children with hearing loss. Your love, support and encouragement pays dividends.
Evan sports his soccer award. A bi-lateral Cochlear Implant user, his mom says, "He loves soccer, and plays the sport with typical hearing peers. When not playing in the game he's often on the sidelines using his leadership skills to help "coach" teammates."
This photo sent to us by Ashleigh Sorenson who says: "Fun times at the Alexander Graham Bell-nv Picnic. Several of these kids (joined by their siblings) are preschool buddies in the DHH class at Thorpe Elementary."
Thanks, Ashleigh for sharing!
This is an example of how parents, school, teacher, and families worked together to promote the annual AG Bell NV picnic.
This is community building, encouragement, and "children first" efforts in action. More than just a picnic took place. This is a wonderful example of purpose-driven results!
Meet Aspen
She was chosen to be a member of the National Junior Honor Society at her Middle School
She excels in Lacrosse, Cross Country, earns straight A's, and is a member of honor choir.
She continues to work diligently on her YW Personal Progress goals, and picks REALLY good friends.
Born profoundly deaf hasn't stopped Aspen from "Reaching for the stars."
We are so proud of Aspen, happy to have her as a member of AGBNV, so appreciate all she does to help us at our events, and look forward with great anticipation in watching her journey on in life!
Jordan Livingston and Ranch High Team to participate in The Real Wold Challenge.
Pictured holding a model aircraft, in the pilot seat and fitted with his CI ... Jordan is active in AGBNV, The AG Bell National LOFT Program, No Limits Group, and also attends Elite Flight Training & Management.
The Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) is an annual competition that provides high school students, grades 9-12, the opportunity to work on real world engineering challenges in a team environment. Each year, student teams will be asked to address a challenge that confronts our nation's leading industries. Students will utilize professional engineering software to develop their solutions and will also generate presentations that convincingly demonstrate the value of their solutions. The RWDC provides students with opportunities to apply the lessons of the classroom to the technical problems that are being faced in the workplace. (CCSD)
Congratulations Jordan!
