SNAPSHOT:The first district-wide Deaf and Hard of Hearing Day (DHH) happened last week at the high school, bringing together students and teachers for a day of confidence building. They tried new activities -- like hip hop dancing -- played games and supported one another. Sponsored by a grant from the Edina Education Fund, planners were able to bring in a speaker and provide matching t-shirts for all participants.
