Posted/span> on October 11, 2018 in District News, McLaughlin

To celebrate World Site Day, Essilor of America provided free eye exams to students at McLaughlin Strickland Elementary. On Oct. 11, students received their new glasses. For some of these students, it was the first time they had glasses and were able to see their world with clarity. Opticians were on hand to properly fit the glasses to the students. Students were given a protective case and taught how to properly clean and care for their new glasses.
