Chapel School Preschoolers Learn and Play with Students from New York School for Deaf


Nov. 13, 2013: On Monday, October 25, The Chapel School Preschool welcomed eight preschool students from the New York School for the Deaf (NYSD) in White Plains. The two classes from NYSD were joined by their teachers and principal, Barbara Robinson.

Some of the NYSD students were from an auditory-oral class and some from a bilingual (ASL) class. The Chapel School preschoolers were eager to show their guests a great time! The children participated in circle time and show and tell, learned Halloween songs, had snack, and played on the playground.

The Chapel School will continue to enjoy its new friendship with the New York School for the Deaf over the course of this school year with several visits. All the children are excited about the next visit in December.

The Chapel School's preschool director, Michelle Tween, is thrilled about entering this new partnership. "I look forward to watching the preschoolers socialize and learn from each other. Our students are already learning some sign language so that they can communicate even better with their new friends!"

The Chapel School is located on White Plains Road in Bronxville. For more information about The Chapel School and its programs, please call 914-337-3202 or visit its website at www.thechapelschool.org.
