Last fall, KDES fourth graders turned their imaginations on and created fun stories about pets, space aliens, family members, food favorites, and a cat that missed Thanksgiving.
The students at the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School annually celebrate the birthday of deaf education pioneer Laurent Clerc. One event of the Clerc Day festivities is the annual Marie Jean Philip ASL Poetry, Storytelling and Deaf Art Competition
which showcases Clerc’s legacy of American Sign Language and deaf culture.
