American Sign Language Workshop
Monday, October 3, 2011 our elementary students had the opportunity to meet Caroline Burrow, NIC Advanced sign language interpreter from New York City. Caroline shared the history and development of American Sign Language. Students also learned about deaf culture, sign language, and opportunities for continued study in our community. It was a great way to kick-off our year of workshops.
Lots of workshops and important events for all ages are upcoming. Be sure to check in on the school division’s webpage for schedule and sign-ups.
