            The students will be introduced by Rep. Mike Forrester at 10 a.m. and will perform two songs, “Shout and Feel It” and “We Are the World.”  The students will represent SCSDB’s Divisions for the Blind, Deaf and Multihandicapped.

Students selected for this year’s performance include: Kardeem Allen of Beaufort; Telicia Avery and Marquiese Malachi of Cheraw; Nallely Ayala of Pineland; Kelli Jane Barnes, Ta’Nayia Moates, Lee Miller, Katie Roche and Sydney Simons of Spartanburg; Devon Carter of Clarks Hill; Deven Frazier of Cordova; Elijah Gregory of Union; Lois Griffin of Orangeburg; Cleveland Hallman of Columbia; Sierra Hardy of Greenville; Dearon Harrington of Wallace; Douglas Holmes of Andrews; Sean Hunt of Walterboro; Mimi Jillella of North Augusta; Destiny McCarter of Lancaster; John Scalley of Surfside; Kayla Wiegand of Laurens; Kate Williams of Lyman; and Zane Williams of Georgetown.

            SCSDB serves children who are deaf, blind or sensory multidisabled through its main campus in Spartanburg, public school districts in counties throughout the state, early intervention programs in the homes of infants and toddlers, and an array of additional services for individuals who are deaf or blind. The school holds two national accreditations, has been selected by the state as a Palmetto Gold School, and has been named a Red Carpet School for excellent customer service.
