My Students

We are a Title I school with a diverse population of students coming from all five boroughs of New York City.

The children in our classrooms are a mix of deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing children (most with deaf parents).

Classroom instruction occurs in both American Sign Language and spoken/written English, with two classroom teachers. We are a dual-language school dedicated to bridging the deaf and hearing communities.

My Project

As a life-long patron of the arts, I value the contribution of arts-based education to the social and emotional development of young children. Combining the arts with children's literature is a journey I have been traveling my whole life. Now, I have found a beautiful way to combine my interests.

This project was created to purchase books for my Broadway Books First Class program, which invites Broadway performers into the classroom to read children's books and share stories about life in the theater.

The book for this guest artist visit is called The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. It will be read by actor, Daniel Durant (from Deaf West's 2015 Broadway revival of Spring Awakening).

The children's books read by the performers in my program serve as a bridge between home and school. I have witnessed an increase in motivation to read when children bring home an autographed copy of the book to enjoy again and again. Thank you to all of you for supporting this project.
