Shore to Shore News
Hello everyone,
I wanted to give you an update and reminder that Family
Enhancement/Shore to Shore is no longer offering formal American Sign
Language classes. We have been advocating that interested people take
the non-credit Sign Language classes with MATC’s Adult and Continuing
Education. With this email, I wanted to help people with this transition.
I also wanted to clarify that Shore to Shore will continue to offer
opportunities for families with D/HH children to gather for information
and support. Because of varying needs and interests, we will have
evenings for families with young children, families with older children,
and grandparents of D/HH children. We will help celebrate Deaf
Awareness Week by starting to watch and discuss the PBS documentary
“Through Deaf Eyes”. There will also be daytime opportunities for
playgroup/storytime. In these smaller groups, we will continue to
address people’s need for sign language instruction as well as people’s
need for information on auditory and speech resources. We will continue
to offer childcare activities during these evenings, for children of all
ages. Finally, we will continue to offer resource and referral services.
Shore to Shore’s fall schedule will be finalized by mid-August and
distributed at the Family Potluck Picnic on August 23rd. If you have
any wishes for certain programming topics or times, please contact me as
soon as possible.
MATC Sign Classes:
For Fall 2007:
Level 1 class information is available online at www.matcmadison.edu.
Click on a-z index, click on ACE (Adult and Continuing Ed), click on
courses and then scroll down to Sign Language. This will bring you to
what is available for Level 1. The catalog number is 42-533-400.
Level 2 (Tues evenings) and Level 3 (Wed evenings) information is not
listed online, however they are available. Childcare will be offered
for both classes. Classes will begin in mid-Sept and end mid-November
and will be held at the Catholic Multicultural Center located at 1862
Beld Street. (Beld Street intersects with Park Street at both ends. Do
a mapquest for more specifics.) This building is fairly new and has
great classrooms, a childcare room and very easy parking. Contact Nancy
Gasser to register (608-258-2309 or ngasser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
For each class, MATC needs at least 8 people registered. So please
spread the word.
Thank you for your time and I hope to see you soon.
