HEROES
‘Makes A Difference’ at The Western
Pennsylvania School For The Deaf
By
Tina Abraham and Vince Ruscavage, June, 2008
Since 2005,
The Western Pennsylvania School For The Deaf
(Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade) has celebrated
HEROES while developing in its students not
only good character but also academic and communication
skills. Throughout the academic year 2007-2008,
the creativity of the whole school community
flourished as students learned in-depth about
‘respect’ and ‘cooperation’
through the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln
and Mother Teresa.  |

a Difference from 30,000 Feet
Phyllis Bussing, October 7, 2003
"As
a teacher, I knew each day that I was making
a difference in the life of a child. I could
see it on the face of a 5-year-old who suddenly
unlocked the code to read his or her first sentence..." |

Taking
a Closer Look at Heroes
Kathleen Morin, August 28, 2003
TC
alumna Kathleen Morin was working as a consultant
to several not-for-profit organizations in 1990
when she was enlisted to help develop and launch
a new classroom education program for The Raoul
Wallenberg Committee of the United States. "The
theme was 'heroes,'" says Morin. But who
was Raoul Wallenberg? "I had no idea,"
she recalls. "I'd never heard of him." |
