March 8, 1999 Dear SW List Members: I would like to welcome a new school to our SignWriting Literacy Project. It is Jordan Vocational High School in Columbus, Georgia. The project will be spearheaded by teacher Cynthia Frey. Cynthia wrote to me back on December 15th! Here is the letter: Letter dated December 15, 1998 From: Cynthia Frey Teacher of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students Jordan Vocational High School 3200 Howard Avenue Columbus, Georgia, 31904 To: Valerie Sutton SignWriting Literacy Project Dear Valerie: The teachers of the 9th-12th grade, at the Jordan High School, in the city of Columbus, Georgia, would like to participate in your SignWriting Literacy Project. We are part of the Muscogee County School District. Our school has about 1,000 students in grades 9-12. We have fourteen students who are deaf or hard of hearing. This is the first year we have offered American Sign Language (ASL) and this class has included eight hearing students. Some of our teachers would like to introduce SignWriting to their students. These teachers are interested in learning and using SignWriting because of our struggle for literacy. Our school has 15-30 students who will be participating in the Literacy Project this year. We agree, as a group, to complete three Web Reports in return for the SignWriting materials and technical support you will donate to us. We understand that this letter and all three reports will become public information and will be posted to the SignWriting Email List and posted on the SignWriting Web Site. You have our full permission to use the information as needed. Thank you for considering us for your project. Sincerely, Cynthia Frey Jordan Vocational High School ___________________________________ Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org The DAC, Deaf Action Committee for SW Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||||||||||
