using the focus prepositions. At the end of class, the students presented in ASL.
Another example of literacy integration in physical education was with the eighth graders. The students came to class
with motivation and curiosity about fitness and weight loss
and were asked to work together to come up with a list of
questions. Then they were asked where they thought they
could find the answers. Students explored various text features
of a non-fiction book such as the index, table of contents, and
headings to help guide them to the answers. They used a
graphic organizer to help organize the information they found.
As a class, they discussed how to write their findings using
English grammatical structure. Students were more willing
to ask about vocabulary and word choice in a group setting
than they had been when asked to write independently. The
eighth graders are very much looking forward to their next
research project--an independent one this time.
Literacy in physical education can be accomplished with
all ages. Pre-kindergarten students enjoy using posters, body
poetry, yoga cards, and animal action cards which have
drawings of physical movements they are to perform. Often
while using the cards, students have to check the illustrated
instructions on how to perform the poses and movements,
identifying the printed words which correlate with the
pictures. This is the beginning of reading development.
From pre-kindergarten where students begin to understand that letters make words and words describe pictures
to middle school students doing research projects, reading and writing across the curriculum promotes literacy
among students at MSD-CC.

This group toured the MSD Frederick Campus to learn more about MSD and the education of deaf and hard of hearing
students in the United States. Throughout their tour, the group also shared information about Korea and their culture

STEM Project
he MSD Occupational Therapy department recently received needed modifications to their chairs from work done by high
school math students.
A current trend in education is to involve
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
(STEM) as often as possible in all lessons. The
goal is to improve students ability to apply
their knowledge to real life situations, so
when the Occupational Therapy department
needed to provide chairs that students with
physical challenges could sit in safely and
securely, students had to engineer a solution,
in this case adding arms to different sized
chairs. The arms needed to be individually
produced from material similar to the chairs
(oak) and then attached in a way that was
both pleasing to the eye and safe for young Shemardo Bartley and Max Olson with their teacher aide Alfred Traurig. Other
students.
students in the class are DeAndre Holmes, Jasmine Woodruff and Ronnie
This project involved all the components Campanaro
of a STEM project:
Students enjoyed the hands-on experience as well as
Science-understanding the bio-physical needs of the
students
Technology-using specialized tools and equipment to
produce a safer chair
Engineering-planning and modifying as the project
evolved
Math-measuring and calculating the correct size of

a single-season record of 141 steals also previously held by
Krystle Berrigan in the 2003-04 season.
In her junior season, Tessa was named the Player of the
Year by NDIAA as she dominated the backcourt with 17.8
PPG, shooting an impressive 40 percent average from the
field, and recording 5.2 steals per game. Tessa also tallied
82 rebounds and 51 assists, bringing her average to 2.8
rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. One of the highlights
of the season was inducting Tessa to the 1,000-point club.
Tessa became the first true junior and the ninth female in
MSD school history to join the 1,000-point club. She scored
219 points her freshman year, 362 points her sophomore
year, and 517 points her junior year. Tessa currently has
1,098 career points in three years of varsity play. In addition to her scoring accolades, she has been selected to AllTournament Teams at the New Life Holiday Classic and
the ESDAA and MVP of both the Oriole Classic and the
Clerc Classic tournaments.
Playing alongside Tessa Lewis was her sidekick Emily
DeSimone, a versatile guard, who finished the season with
7.1 PPG and 5.9 APG. Freshman Karita Lewis racked up
playing experience as she finished the season strong in the
paint with 8.4 PPG and a 7.4 RPG. Karita Lewis finished
her freshman year of varsity play with a total of 242 points
and 214 rebounds.
The girls basketball team wishes to thank the MSD

Sanchez was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the
championship game. Noah Valencia, Carey Ballard, and
Yave Sanchez made the all-tournament team.
The MSD basketball coaching staff would like to
recognize a group of five outstanding seniors who displayed
excellent work ethic, passion, teamwork, and enthusiasm:
Jake Grindstaff, Jad Gore, Evan Kurth, Tobi Lisoyi, and
Carroll Barnes. The departing seniors played a vital part
in helping to bring the winning tradition back to the MSD
basketball program.
The juniors and sophomores played a prominent role in
the teams success by playing great defense with a high level
of intensity and spreading the scoring wealth where the
leading scorer averaged 12 points per game: Jake Bonheyo,
Carey Ballard, Bailey Moers, Giovanni Maucere, Yave
Sanchez, Noah Valencia, Diamani McNeely, and Damon
Biskupiak. They demonstrated great team cohesion. The
coaching staff is counting on them to take on an even bigger
role next season and carry on the winning tradition at MSD.
Sophomore Mauricio Orozco and freshmen Austin
Latin and Egan Seremeth played most of the season at the
junior varsity level where MSD had an outstanding season
with a 12-6 record. Although they did not see a lot of varsity
action, they always worked hard in practices. They were
an important part of MSDs successful season.
Coach DeStefano would like to recognize the hard work
of managers Jerrod Grill, Rhyshem Bagley, and Carroll

Community News
any members of the MSD community already know that the MSD
Foundation has been around for over twenty-five years with a mission of
providing funding support to MSD students for scholarships, awards, camp
tuition, academic programs, athletic opportunities, computers, books and the
like. They also provide non-tangible resources by promoting awareness of MSD
and its students. These non-tangible resources can lead to donations of money,
materials, books, projects, and recognition of the value of both the school and
the local Deaf community.
The Foundation generates awareness by offering free American Sign
Language classes through local businesses. They set up displays at events such
as the Chamber of Commerce Expo, participate in business card exchanges,
and take advantage
of ot her opport u n it ies to promote the School.
Brochures about
the Foundation and the free ASL classes are handed
out at public venues and fundraising events such as the
annual Foundation golf tournament. The Foundation
also publishes information and events on their website
and on their Facebook page. Last year, the Foundation
administered a Sustainability Campaign that helped
bring awareness and donations. These methods have
been very successful in providing information to and
gaining support from the local community.
The Foundations Annual Giving Campaign is another
tool that is used to promote both MSD and the Foundation.
A newsletter reaches out to over 3,000 families with articles
on the needs of the school (like iPads) and asks for donations
to help purchase the items. It also provides information about
events and fundraisers. The Foundation always enjoys including pictures and articles about students they have been able
to help throughout the year. They also take the opportunity
to thank donors who have helped them achieve success.
In addition to planned fund-raising initiatives, the
Foundation receives general donations throughout the
year from individuals, companies, and other organizations.
Occasionally, they receive memorial contributions and even
bequests from the wills of caring individuals who want to
support MSD even after they are gone.
If you would like more information about the MSD
Foundation or would like to make a donation, please
go to their website: www.MSD-Foundation.org or conTOP ROW (L-R) Lee Kramer, Sam Fava (Vice President), Guy tact the Program Coordinator, Gwena West, at gwena.
