The Deaf students showcased their talents during the Deaf Got Talent. Also, a group of deaf students together with the four Lasallian Volunteer Program (LSVP) volunteers: Yamie Fiestada, Basil De Leon, Rochelle Corrales, and Rosevie Samarista conducted the Sign Language Instruction at the IS and BMSLS. The highlight of the week-long celebration was the Search for Mr. and Miss Deaf Week 2014. In celebrating this year’s 6th Deaf Week, LSU School for the Deaf not only pays tribute to Deaf individuals who despite their hearing and other impairments but also endeavor to have access to education for the Deaf community. The 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 gain access to opportunities to become productive members of the community. Thank you to the teachers, volunteers, and most especially to the Deaf Lasallians who contributed much effort to the success of the 6th Deaf Week celebration. TRULY THE DEAF CAN!!!
