The Lions Club is coming to Bruceton School to do their annual vision screening for students in grades PK, K, 2, and 7. They are currently scheduled for April 9th and 10th. As we've done in the past, this will be an opt OUT activity: all students will be screened unless the parent/guardian sends a note in saying NOT to screen the student. It is a free service and will serve as a SCREENING only. If there is an issue, the parent/guardian will be notified and they can take their student for further follow-up as they see fit
