A Deaf Pen Pal for your Students...and maybe YOU! May 20, 2005 5:04 AM

Thanks to everyone who is joining in and sending post cards to the VA School for the Deaf!  If you'd like more info on this school and its kids, check out  http://www.vsdb.state.va.us/ and click on Student Life and Student Webs, which shows you websites built by some of the students!  In order to earn a new snail mail pen pal, just write to the school at the address on the site with a letter of introduction!  This sort of thing makes the world less scary and a whole lot smaller to these bright but disabled students!  It also helps teach your students about kids who are a little bit different and a whole lot the same!
