Maine Middle School Offers Sign Language Classes

From http://www.mpbn.net/News/MaineNewsArchive/tabid/181/ctl/ViewItem/mid/3475/ItemId/24412/Default.aspx

There's a new language class at Lyman Moore Middle School in Portland. American Sign Language - or ASL - is now one of three world language classes students can take, along with French and Spanish. Lyman Moore is the first middle school in Maine to offer ASL, and there's a reason: Last year, they welcomed their first deaf students into the school. As Patty Wight reports, the ASL class aims to bridge the gap between hearing and non-hearing cultures.
