Make sure to sign up your whole family-even friends-to join us! Cost is $7.50 per person, 2 years and up.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Sign Language Class Added!!

**Contact us by Tuesday, July 17th if interested!**

Class will be taught by Jeannette Gratz. Jeannette is the mother of 21 year old Deaf twins. When she first learned her twins were Deaf, she began taking Sign language classes at a college, but soon learned that immersing herself in the Deaf World was the best way to learn their culture and their language. She has taught many sign language classes throughout the years for high schools, churches, and programs for parents and advocates of Deaf children. Jeannette is surrounded by American Sign Language in her home life, professional life, and even in her ministry as the Deaf Ministry pastor at Southside Nazarene Church. She is a firm believer that American Sign Language makes the world a better place, and is a huge advocate for bringing Deaf Culture into all areas of life: school, work, church, etc.
