The Chapel School Preschoolers Continue a Friendship

Bronxville, NY – On Monday February 10th, The Chapel School Preschool welcomed back their friends from the New York School for the Deaf in White Plains.  The students from the NYSD were from a bilingual (ASL) class, and were joined by two teachers and an interpreter. The Chapel School preschoolers were excited to welcome their friends back! “I remember the signs for hello and friend!” exclaimed one preschooler. The children participated in relay races, played games, and made crafts together. “It is wonderful to see the children learning from each other,” stated Mrs. Tween, The Chapel School’s Preschool Director.

The Chapel School will continue to enjoy their new friendship with The New York School for the Deaf over the course of this school year with several visits.  All the children are excited to show their new friends what they have been working on in school. Mrs. Tween, is thrilled to be continuing this partnership. "It is such an enjoyable and great day when we bring the classes together. You can see their eyes light up when they communicate with their new friends!"

The Chapel School is located on 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville, New York. An Open House is scheduled for every Friday in March.  For more information about the Chapel School and its programs, please call 914-337-3202 or visit the website at  www.thechapelschool.org
