The day will include hands-on visual games, performances by Deaf
storytellers, visiting vendors that represent the Deaf Community - MassRelay, Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Canines for Kids, Sorenson Communications, Childrens Hospital and others - as well as a wonderful group of Deaf and hearing professionals who are willing to share their stories and experiences.
Myths will be busted!
Hands will be in motion!
Eyes will be opened!
Deaf Awareness Day will take place on our first half day, October 22, from 8 a.m. until dismissal at 11:30.
All staff and students at F.A. Day will have the opportunity to visit a variety of exhibits and take part in activities presented with visual learning as the focus. As we learn more about the Deaf Community, our goal is for our students to become more visual thinkers and to celebrate the diversity of the Day community.
This is a day where we take the time to see the world through Deaf eyes!

This hilarious, fast paced comedy will have audiences laughing from Chicago to Grand Central Station! Twentieth Century follows financially ruined theatre producer Oscar Jaffe's zany plots to win back his former lover and leading lady, Lily Garland.
