My Project

Many of our middle school students have started an ASL Club after school.

We want to take ASL and Deaf Culture awareness to the next level.

With resources such as learning-ASL books, stories, biographies and workbooks, this ever-growing club can raise awareness throughout our school. We want to create a service project/campaign to increase understanding of hard-of-hearing, deaf and Deaf populations.

We have big plans for the future of this initiative and every penny towards increasing its' success is greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering helping our ASL Club succeed in their commitment to making positive changes!

Grades 6-8
