The officers of a new RE student club – the American Sign Language Club – provided their upper school peers a primer on the history, growth and importance of sign language and demonstrated some simple signs during an assembly in honor of National American Sign Language Day April 15. Under the leadership of president Emma Quintane '23, vice president Carson Stanton-Sharpless '23 and secretary Zubin Kamlani '25, the new club seeks to give students the opportunity to learn sign language, spread awareness about deaf communities in the U.S. and provide resources to deaf organizations in need of assistance. Twenty-nine upper school students are members of the club, whose advisor is World Languages Department Chair James Monk.
