Wakefield students are given an opportunity to sign up for a variety of after-school classes including one that teaches sign language. During the sign language class a variety of related subjects are researched in an effort to help students understand the beauty of diversity and the need for tolerance. The class is taught by a Wakefield parent and volunteer, Aimee Robertson. Mrs. Robertson has 4 children - Aiden who is in the second grade, CJ in 4th grade, who has mastered sign language because he is deaf, Rachel, 1 year old, and Drezden, 5 months old. On this particular afternoon, students were reporting on famous people who just happen to be deaf, i.e., Helen Keller, Lou Ferrignou, Beethoven, Alexander Graham Bell, Juliette Low (the founder of Girl Scouts), Marlee Matlin, KoKo (the gorilla who can hear but uses sign language to communicate), and one student even did her project on CJ and the equipment he uses to hear. Gina Collins (above) learned a song in sign language and performed it for her project.
