Workshop Recap · Deaf Awareness Month

Our Free ASL Workshop Was a Hit!

This past September, the M.E.W. Foundation celebrated Deaf Awareness Month with a free ASL workshop at Sunstone Village in Denton — and the turnout was incredible. Neighbors of all ages and hearing abilities came together to learn everyday signs, explore Deaf culture, and connect through American Sign Language. The curiosity, laughter, and energy in the room made it a day to remember.

Hosted by Daymond Sands — a dedicated American Sign Language professional with years of experience as a freelance ASL consultant and tutor, and Program Director of a Deaf Theatre organization in Plano, where he champions Deaf culture, artistic expression, and community engagement through the performing arts.

Booked Workshop · Field Trip Fridays

We Bring Workshops to Your Group

Field Trip Fridays booked M.E.W. for a private ASL workshop led by Selena Ruffin — and the group loved it. Attendees learned everyday signs and phrases, heard the presenter's story, and jumped into hands-on practice. It's the same custom, interactive experience we bring to schools, camps, teams, and organizations.
