American Sign Language students surprise instructor



Creative students in Kathy Krier’s American Sign Language class, delivered via interactive TV, secretly collaborated on a project outside of class to surprise Krier. The nine distance-learning students at Lac Qui Parle Valley High School coordinated and wore matching, bright fuchsia T-shirts to class just days into the new semester. The T-shirts bore a message on the front, “Seniors sign in ’09,” and the back spelled L-Q-P-V in the manual alphabet.

Not to be left out, the students sent Krier her own matching shirt.

The American Sign Language program is taken part-time over a two-year period. Graduates are prepared and/or meet prerequisites for an Interpreter program, gain sign language skills to work and communicate with deaf and hard of hearing people, meet World Language requirements at the high school and college/university level and meet entrance requirements for undergraduate or graduate programs in ASL studies.
