🧏♂️💙 September is Deaf Awareness Month!
This month, we recognize and celebrate the rich history, language, and culture of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. It’s also a reminder of the importance of inclusion, accessibility, and understanding.
At Berryville School District, we believe every student’s voice matters—whether spoken, signed, or written!
We also want to recognize our Certified ASL Interpreter, Valerie Deen, for the daily support she provides to the students, the staff and our classrooms.
