Earlier this evening, we were excited to begin our first-ever American Sign Language (ASL) course at Wheatley! Thanks to the efforts of senior Charlotte Goldbaum and the sponsorship of the Wheatley PTO, we were able to find an experienced ASL educator, Azadeh Malekan, ready to lead participants through the fundamentals of ASL. Through this 10-week course, participants will be able to communicate using ASL at a basic level. This course is open to all community members, and we are thrilled that two dozen participants registered!

I attended the beginning of the first class and was absolutely dazzled by Ms. Malekan’s skill and ability to engage the class!
