We are still in need of volunteers for Career Day on Friday, October 16th. Please see the attached pictures for open clusters. If you are available to volunteer for all or even part of the day, please fill out this form to let us know: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/BUSEpKtBRq
🤟 Today is International Day of Sign Languages!
International Day of Sign Languages celebrates the languages, cultures, and identities of Deaf people and sign language users around the world. Sign languages are complete, natural languages, not simply gestures or signed versions of spoken languages.
Today, we’re celebrating Bison Sign Language Day, and we have a challenge for the Herd: How many signs can you learn today?
During lunch, we also challenge you to greet someone without speaking! Try using a sign, a wave, a facial expression, or another gesture to communicate.
As we celebrate today, remember a few simple ways to communicate respectfully with someone who is Deaf or hard of hearing: get their attention before you begin communicating, face them when you communicate, avoid unnecessarily covering your face, and remember that not every Deaf or hard-of-hearing person communicates in the same way.
Let’s learn something new, communicate in a new way, and make sure everyone feels like part of the Herd.
🤟 Many ways to communicate. One Herd. 🦬
