American Sign Language
The popularity of our American Sign Language classes has created an understanding of deafness and a fluency with ASL that has promoted lasting friendships between hearing and deaf students.

Club Advisors: Ms. L. DeMarco, Ms. C Manto, Mrs. M. Gauthier
The American Sign Language club focuses on cooperation, friendship, information exchange, involvement, tolerance towards others and leadership skills.
Members participate in varied activities such as silent lunches, social events/celebrations, signing & yoga, game days, fundraisers and participation in a new partnership with Kean University's ASL classes. Skills and experiences obtained by club members during these meetings/events enable them to practice their signing skills and promotes a fusion between deaf and hearing students. The ASL club is open to all students. You do not need to take ASL to be a member of the club. We meet monthly during lunch time to socialize and plan events.
