Choral Students Learn Silent Night in ASL

On Friday, November 2, students in all Upper School general chorus classes and performance ensemble spent their class-time learning ASL (American Sign Language). A professional ASL tutor, Meghan Presley, with her student interpreters, Shelby and Roman, spent the day at Cascia teaching the chorus students the ASL for the first verse of “Silent Night”. The students will continue to practice the ASL in class and then incorporate it as part of their Christmas choir concert on December 5. In addition to teaching the students the specific ASL for the verse, Meghan told the students a story in ASL, spoke about her own life experiences, and fielded questions from the students.
