🎳 Throwback Thursday: US Bowling League Day or Team Building!
Throwing it back to the 2023 NFB Arizona State Conference, when the SAAVI Services for the Blind team traded in the conference rooms for bowling lanes! 🎳
After a long day, staff headed out for some late-night bowling, laughs, friendly competition, and a little team building. We may not be part of a U.S. bowling league—or even a bowling league in general—but for one night, it sure felt like we were! 😄
It was a great reminder that some of the best team-building moments happen when we step away from work, have some fun, and enjoy each other’s company.
Strike or gutter ball, we were all winners that night! 💙

Pictured: 13 people Some standing some sitting grouped together facing the camera. A bowling alley in the background and one person holding a bowling ball.

🌟 Triumph Tuesday! 🌟

Today we’re celebrating Jordan and a delicious accomplishment! 👏🍽️ As part of his final for Home Management, Jordan planned, prepared, and served his All SAAVI meal for students and staff.

From the kitchen to the serving line, Jordan put his skills into action and showed just how much hard work, confidence, and independence can come together in one meal. 💪👨‍🍳

Congratulations, Jordan, on completing your Home Management final! We’re proud of you—and we’re pretty sure everyone who enjoyed your meal is proud of you too! 🎉🙌

🌴 Throwback Thursday: Tarzan Day!Swing into Throwback Thursday with SAAVI Services for the Blind! 🌿Earlier this summer in Austin, our students and staff took on an unforgettable challenge while attending the NFB National Convention—soaring high above the trees and water on a zipline! 🪂Channeling their inner Tarzan, our adventurers faced the challenge, embraced the excitement, and proved that a little courage can take you to new heights. 💪✨From classroom challenges to thrilling adventures, SAAVI students are always ready to explore, grow, and break through barriers! : students and staff on ziplines soaring over trees and water, two at a time with canes in their hands even in the air. Some video is shot form on land and others are from the air using different techniques such as phones, go pros, and meta glasses.

🎉 Triumph Tuesday! 🎉

Richard, also known as Saint, has done it again! 👏 He successfully prepared and served his large final meal for All Saavi—and today we’re giving you a peek behind the serving line!

Here he is confidently serving up a plate to a fellow student. 🍽️ From planning and preparing the meal to serving his guests, Saint put his nonvisual skills, organization, and independence into action.

Way to go, Saint! We’re proud to celebrate this delicious accomplishment! 🙌👏
