Have you visited Beyond Blindness lately?

Thanks to Operation Clean Slate and two amazing volunteer groups, two areas of our campus got a vibrant makeover!

Operation Clean Slate refreshed our storage unit mural, originally painted in 1999, and added new tactile elements. Team PIMCO joined in to complete a beautiful mural on our preschool playground wall.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring more color, creativity, and joy to our campus!
