A Visit to the "Seeing Eye"

After reading the story Mom’s Best Friend, a story about a mother from Pennsylvania,   who went to the "Seeing Eye" in Morristown to train with her new guide dog, the fifth grade took a trip to see the facility. The children met several instructors and a blind woman who told them about her own training with her guide dog, Becca. The class saw a video about the history of the Seeing Eye and got a chance to see the dining room and obstacle course that are used to train the dogs with their owners.

The fifth graders happily donated their own money and bought toys and treats for the guide dogs at the Seeing Eye.
