LSU SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF CELEBRATED DEAF AWARENESS WEEK
The School for the Deaf of La Salle University celebrated Deaf Awareness Week in consonance with the Presidential Proclamation No. 823 issued on November 8, 1991, and Department of Education Memorandum No. 397, s. 2010, the 2010 call for the observance of Deaf Awareness Week on November 7-13 this year with the theme "Be a Part, Not Apart."
The annual celebration was opened with a Holy Signed Mass at Immaculate Conception Cathedral with the community. Deaf students, teachers, and interpreters were in attendance.
The LSU School for the Deaf is urged to undertake activities in support of the celebration in consonance with the DepEd Engaged Time-on-Task Policy.
Activities performed among the Deaf were spelling contest, hand painting contest, academic competitions in a form of game, visual and performing arts competition, and table setting contest.
The grade 9 hearing students of Brother Martin Simpson Laboratory School (BMSLS) were invited to compete against the Deaf students in sports. Basketball boys and girls, badminton, and volleyball were initiated.
The highlight of the week-long celebration was the instruction of Basic Sign Language to hearing students of BMSLS, Integrated School (IS), and college. Selected Deaf students together with their teachers taught basic sign language.
In celebrating Deaf Awareness Week this year, LSU School for the Deaf not only pays tribute to countless individuals who, despite their hearing and other impairments, endeavor to have access to education to improve their lot.
The LSU School for the Deaf has urged everyone to support every effort to bring Deaf students into the mainstream, where they too have a rightful place, and help them to gain access to opportunities to become productive members of our community.
