Lions and friends made stops at the Iron Spike Model Train Museum, McKelvey Vineyard, Canterbury Hill Winery and Restaurant, and the White Mule Winery.

Since July 1st, KidSight has already screened more than 2,600 Missouri children for potential vision issues — and we’re just getting started! 👀💛

From classrooms to community centers, our volunteers and partners are making sure kids start the school year ready to learn, play, and thrive. Every screening means another child who can get the help they need to see their best — and that’s something worth celebrating!

Vision plays a critical role in a child’s development, learning, and daily life. At KidSight, we’re committed to helping Missouri kids see clearly by providing free vision screenings and connecting families to local care.

During Children's Eye Health and Safety Month, we encourage parents and guardians to prioritize pediatric eye health:
✅ Schedule regular vision checks
✅ Watch for signs of vision issues (squinting, covering an eye, headaches)
✅ Protect little eyes with sunglasses and safe play habits

Together, we can help every child see a brighter future! 💛👓
