Lynwood Unified to Give Free Eyeglasses to Nearly 250 Students through Partnership with Vision To Learn
WHAT: Nearly 250 Lynwood Middle School students will receive free eyeglasses through the District’s partnership with Vision To Learn, a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating vision issues as a barrier to education.
The students who will receive new eyewear went through free screenings in fall 2018. The recipients have chosen their own frames.
VTL specialists have partnered with Lynwood’s Rotary Club and will join LMS staff members to distribute the glasses on the school’s campus.
