Learn about Bryce Weiler, a blind sports broadcaster, and his analysis of the Ogden Raptors baseball game against the North Colorado Owlz.
Weber School District's Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers met on August 16th to gear up for the new academic year. The event featured several guest speakers including Bryce Weiler, a blind sports analyst and co-founder of the Beautiful Lives Project. Weiler's message about what we can accomplish when someone gives us an opportunity, believes in us and when we have the determination to overcome obstacles was an unbelievable manifestation of the human spirit.
