Learn more about how the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation has helped our students.
Fundraising arm of the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind
The Ezra Jack Keats Foundation has a mission to bring the multicultural, creative spirit of Keats into children’s lives and literature. They do this by supporting arts and literacy programs in public schools and libraries; celebrating new writers and illustrators of exceptional picture books for a diverse audience of children; and preserving Keats’s work and extending his legacy. Several of our teachers have been awarded grants from the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation to do projects with our students. The art teacher at the School for the Blind, Liz List, received one such grant a few years ago. She was able to purchase supplies for the students to create tactile books using different materials. The students then wrote a story to go in the book. We have very talented students! Pictured here are two of the projects done by the School for the Blind students. The top left picture has a treble clef with musical notes. The bottom right shows a guitar on one side of the open book and the story on the other. The words read “I started playing my guitar, but it didn’t make any sound. The strings were broken. I went to get some sticks. I put them on the guitar. It tried to strum them. It still did not make any sound.” #scsdb #engageempowerequip #daysofgiving #demisemideptcentennial #day72
