[JOHNSON Steve]

FYI -

Spring Greetings from the Oregon School for the Blind and the Oregon School
for the Deaf! 
The students and staff of the Oregon School for the Blind and Oregon School
for the Deaf are proud to present to you our Biennial Reports for 2000-2002.
We are proud of our students, our accomplishments, our history, and our
schools. The Oregon School for the Blind and the Oregon School for the Deaf
have weathered many upturns and downturns, but our missions and outcomes
have consistently been the same... to educate our students to become fully
participating and contributing members of their communities, Oregon, and the
world. 
To conserve natural resources and state monies, we invite you to read our
reports at the following links:

who joined us on February 26th for our celebration. If you were not able to
