The eye vision tests are to see if you need glasses. This helps students do better during the year. The high school students tell the kids to cover one eye with a piece of paper. Then the kids look at a chart that has E's facing different directions. Next, they ask the kids to point in the direction the E is facing. If they get too many wrong, they get their eyes checked again by the school nurse. One of the students from the high school was Joni Carrasco. She does the vision vi-sion tests for science and gets extra-credit if she does it at the beginning begin-ning of the year. She says she really enjoys doing tests and has lots of fun. Savannah McNitt said she didn't like that she had to cover up her eye. Brad Borget said he liked the vision tests. He also said that it was a little hard, but still fun. Ashli Averett said it was okay and easy. Tommy Tom-my Merrell hated it but Allen Edwards was glad to find out he didn't need glasses. A big thank you Springville High and our school nurse.
