Several students from our Deaf Department recently presented at Virginia's Poetry Out Loud competition, held at the Wayne Theater. Check out the video (linked to start at the welcoming message from VSDB's Interim Superintendent, Charity Warigon at 42:45) https://www.youtube.com/live/E8n5pb53xRE?si=slTK8rTKMICJeDT8&t=2565. Several students present their ASL Personification Poems after Superintendent Warigon, and several others present again at 1:23:36 https://www.youtube.com/live/E8n5pb53xRE?si=j-RaBuAJbnFQSKL8&t=5016. Thank you to all of our students who presented in this! Great job!
