My friend growing up, both of her parents are deaf, so I've always been interested. Through research, children at this age know what they want to say but don't have the language skills to say it yet. The signing bridges that gap and allows them to let their needs be known before they're able to tell us.

We looked at the future map and it said agriculture. I thought the people here want to preserve farm land.

We start out with basic things like 'milk,' 'more,' 'please' and 'eat' - things that are important to them and what they want. Then we just sign it as we say it to them and that allows them to put the word and the sign together. We've had really good success and we all get excited each time they do it.

We learned about different types of technology like communications and transportation.

We got a call, there's been a bomb,

Costs should never be a concern in making school bus riding as safe as possible.

This is a small hobby, family farm. We have no intention of any other large animals, like cattle. Our pastures are small.

I hope that the School Board will see the wisdom of providing bus monitors, at least for all buses transporting elementary school students.
