Get ready to showcase your extraordinary talent in ASL this Deaf Awareness Week/Month! Our ASL contest invites students to express their creativity in various categories, including stories, ABC stories, 1-10, 1-5, handshape, and visual vernacular. Whether you're a seasoned signer or just starting out on your ASL journey, this is your chance to shine.

Did you see the bats surrounding the TSD campus?! What's up with that? We have flying hands that look like bats! (Signing bats flying in the air!). We have a special event to announce. All American Sign Language teachers across the departments from Elementary, Middle School, to High School got together to discuss and agree to announce that we have the ASL contest for the fall season and spring season. For the fall season, be creative with a story. It could be an ABC story, visual vernacular, handshape, or number story. Submit by September 21st. You can use an old video you created in the past or create a new one. For Elementary, contact or submit to Denise Egbert. For Middle School, Coleen Utzman. For High School, Ursa Rewolinski and Harvey Nathanson. We will announce prizes for the winners! Submit as if you are flying freely and as big as a bat!
