We are so proud of Noah, a senior in the Blind Department, for his recent trip to WNRN in Charlottesville to record a Public Service Announcement about VSDB on their radio station. Noah has been interested in radio broadcasting and has been making the Blind Department's morning announcements, which he named "Radio Yates 104.5." Going to WNRN, learning about their station, and creating this PSA was an exciting experience for him. Way to go, Noah! https://wnrn.org/community-connection-virginia-school-for-the-deaf-and-the-blind-open-enrollment/ #VSDBproud #GrowDoBecome
