Deaf Voices Make a Difference! 🤟

Deaf Awareness Month is a time to recognize the leadership, language, culture, and contributions of Deaf people, and to remember that true inclusion means more than simply being present. It means having access, opportunity, and a voice that is valued. 💙

At the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind (WVSDB), we are proud to see our students discover the power of their own voices and the difference they can make.

Deaf voices matter. Deaf voices lead. Deaf voices make a difference. 🌟

Heavy downpours and repetitive showers and storms will lead to areas of flash flooding throughout the day as a result. The severe risk for today will be limited, though a few storms could produce strong gusty winds.
