Deaf Awareness Month will be celebrated the week of September 20-26th. This is a time dedicated to promoting greater understanding and celebration of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. The World Federation of the Deaf started this celebration in the late 1950s. Recently the International Day of Sign Languages has been added.

Mention “deaf,” and what might come to mind is someone who can’t hear. In reality, there are degrees of hearing loss, ranging from slight (small hearing decrease) to profound (unable to hear, at all). Deaf culture authors Carol Padden and Tom Humphries explain that lowercase “deaf” refers to people with hearing loss. However, Deaf with a capital D refers to people with hearing loss who identify with Deaf culture.

ASL students will participate in this celebration by researching Deaf culture and making a Poster to hang throughout the school raising Deaf Awareness. ASL 1 students will research people, organizations and events in history relating to Deaf culture. ASL 2 students will build their understanding by researching the prejudice of Audism. ASL 3 students will show what they have learned by showing the culture, language and obstacles which entail the Deaf Journey to “Deafhood” a process by which Deaf individuals come to actualize their Deaf identity.

The EHS Library has a limited amount of loaners for students to use if their laptop is lost/stolen/sent to repair. We don’t have enough loaners for students to use if they forget their laptop at home, so students should remember to bring their laptop each day.

All students and staff in LWSD must include this at the beginning of all multi-media presentations. You can copy and paste it from the EHS Library Website and Copyright Disclaimer.

The competitive season has begun! Visit https://eastlakewolves.org/ for schedules.
