In May 2017, Vision To Learn began helping kids in New Jersey, launching a project in Newark Public Schools. In the first year, Vision To Learn will provide vision screenings, eye exams and glasses, free of charge, to children in Pre-K through 3rd grade.
Newark Public Schools is New Jersey’s largest school district, with an enrollment of almost 35,000 kids. Vision To Learn will provide over 7,000 vision screenings, 2,400 eye exams and 2,215 pairs of glasses in the first year of this program. The effort was launched June 1st at Speedway Academy, where New York Giants defensive tackle Jay Bromley made a surprise appearance.
