GATOR BYTE - VOLUME 26 - MARCH 12, 2023
WEEK IN REVIEW
It was an exciting week to be a Glenville Gator!

Last Sunday, 281 people representing our school attended the Bridgeport Islanders game to cheer on both our amazing 4th & 5th grade Gators who sang the National Anthem and the Islanders who defeated the Springfield Thunderbirds 3-0!

We also had award-winning author Marc Tyler Nobleman visit the school on Wednesday to discuss his work, which kids in every grade got to enjoy!

For more pictures from both events, see "Pictures of the Week" below!

WHAT'S NEW FROM PTAC

National Deaf History Month - March 13th - April 15th

National Deaf History Month is a time to honor the contributions of deaf individuals and the deaf community and learn more about the ongoing advocacy work deaf organizations undertake in order to make the world accessible to deaf and hard of hearing individuals. 

This awareness month runs through March and April because it recognizes three key, historical moments that impacted the deaf community. On March 13, 1988, the ‘Deaf President Now’ or DPN movement successfully campaigned for a deaf president to be installed at Gallaudet University. April 8 marks the anniversary of the founding of Gallaudet University, the only higher education institution for deaf and hard of hearing students. The university is named after Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, an influential figure whose research and advocacy led to an improved educational system for deaf and hard of hearing children. Finally, April 15th commemorates the founding of the American School for the Deaf, one of the first public schools for deaf children.
