Getting Involved
Become a Volunteer
Alex Arguello, our Head of Community Engagement, can always find ways for you to help make TSBVI a better place.
Donate to All Blind Children of Texas
The mission of All Blind Children of Texas is to be a resource for the optimal physical, mental, emotional, and social development of all blind children in Texas. ABCTX uses donor funds to support Expanded Core Curriculum programs that TVIs and COMS throughout Texas plan for their VI students but aren’t able to get district funds. ABCTX has funded several programs at TSBVI, such as the Badgerdog Creative Writing Program, specific activities of Camp Challenge, and sponsorship of White Cane Day (e.g., providing the clown, climbing wall, and bounce house).
TSBVI thanks the following Community Partners! These are people in the community who, well, see for yourself. We love these wonderful, charitable groups and people who care about our students and school.
