📣 We are excited to introduce Peer Helpers to the Alabama School for the Blind! 🏫

Peer Helpers are students who are trained to support, encourage, and uplift their classmates. They serve as positive role models, promote kindness and inclusion, and help create a safe and welcoming school environment for everyone. 😇

Our students recently participated in Peer Helpers training, where they learned valuable skills such as active listening, leadership, confidentiality, teamwork, and how to appropriately support their peers. We are so proud of their willingness to step up and serve! 👂💪🤝

Be sure to check out the pictures from our Peer Helpers training included in this post — these students are already shining bright! 🌟

❤️🖤 STATE CHAMPION & STATE RUNNER-UP! 🖤❤️

What an incredible weekend at the AHSAA State Championship

🥇 Tay Butler — 1st Place, Girls 138 lb
STATE CHAMPION!
Huntsville, Alabama

🥈 Chris Weaver — 2nd Place, Boys 190 lb
STATE RUNNER-UP!
Talladega, Alabama

Bringing home a state title AND a state runner-up finish is an incredible accomplishment for ASB Wrestling! Their dedication, toughness, and heart were on full display on the biggest stage in Alabama high school wrestling.

A huge congratulations to their coaches, Jimmy Dean and Josh Haynes, for the countless hours, leadership, and commitment poured into this program.

We also want to recognize the teammates who traveled to Huntsville to support them. Watching our wrestlers come together as one team — cheering, encouraging, and standing behind each other — is what Red Wolf Wrestling is all about. This was a total team effort, and the support in the stands meant everything.

We are so proud of this group — on and off the mat.

🐺❤️ Fear the Pack! ❤️🐺
