This Sunday in RE: Learn American Sign Language (ASL)!
During February, the Soul Matters theme is Inclusion. One aspect of inclusion is ensuring that everyone can be part of the conversation. There are many ways that communication can be inclusive; sign language is a language that includes Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals in the conversation. ASL is the language used for signing in the US.
Kids will discuss who uses sign language and why it’s important; they will also get to explore and learn some simple ASL signs and have fun with an ASL song interpretation. Join us! RSVPs are always welcome and encouraged as it helps with our class preparation.
RE still needs classroom and nursery assistants!
Please help make our RE program a success - it takes everyone's support to be willing to make it successful. The Signup Genius link is here to find dates and to sign up.
We ask anyone who volunteers for RE to undergo a basic background check. Marnie will be in touch with you if you have signed up to help out. Thank you for your support!
