Sep 12: Shore to Shore Fall Classes Begin
Family Enhancement’s Shore to Shore program will again be offering
American Sign Language Classes this Fall. We are located at 2120 Fordem
Avenue in Madison. All classes (Levels 1, 2, and 3) run from 6:30 pm to
8:00 pm on Tuesday evenings. Our ten week classes begin September 12th
and end November 14th.
Our classes are taught by Deaf adults using various teaching methods.
Anyone who is interested in learning sign language is welcome to attend.
Childcare, with an emphasis on learning sign language, is offered while
adults attend their classes.
The fee is $70.00 per individual or $95.00 per family (two adults plus
children).
Registration and payment are required. Please contact Connie Stevens at
cstevents@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for a flyer and registration form.
Who we are:
Shore to Shore offers year round programming for families with Deaf and
Hard of Hearing members and others who use sign language. We believe
communication is the cornerstone of literacy. In addition to sign
language classes, we offer an ASL Story Hour and Parent Support Group as
well as Outreach Services.
Please contact me with questions.
In the interest of those who use sign language to communicate, thank you
very much.
