Y'town students getting new glasses
YOUNGSTOWN
Youngstown students will be getting new, free glasses thanks to a collaboration with the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, the school district and several community organizations.
Students who need eye exams are seeing doctors from Ageless Eyecare at their schools this week and selecting frames for their eyeglasses at no cost to the students or their families.
Schools Superintendent Joe Meranto said the event is just another example of what Youngstown can do with community collaborations.
“[The students] get what they need to not only do better in school, but do better in life,” he said.
The event wasn’t just beneficial for students, but others as well.
