Clerc-Gallaudet Week
Posted by essemkay8 in awareness holidays on December 9, 2010
Held the first full week of December, Clerc-Gallaudet Week is a tribute to two men who had a significant impact on education for the deaf in the United States. Laurent Clerc and Reverend Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet founded the country’s first school for the deaf in 1817. The school is now known as the American School for the Deaf.
In honor of the occasion, I perused SigningSavvy.com and attempted to come up with a short message. I make absolutely no claim to have gotten this right.
What was I going for? “Hello, I am S. I like holidays. I live in Wisconsin. Snow today. Have a nice day. Goodbye!”
Hey, it was worth a try.
