The Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community came together yesterday to say goodbye to their building in Allston/Brighton and celebrate the many memories created there!
HMS will move to a renovated Edwards Middle School building in Charlestown in September.
To the Newton school committee members concerned about teachers “taking yoga classes” on their PD: 1) You realize teachers don’t have enough time to pee and eat on their breaks? The kidney stones are an occupational hazard of the job? 1/3
🏐 Our Volleyball Tournament fundraiser was a success thanks to the support from our incredible school community! Thank you for helping us raise funds for our Academic Bowl Team.

a blessing for the life you didn't choose
Blessed are you when the shock subsides,
when vaguely, you see a line appear that divides before and after.
You didn’t draw it, and can barely even make it out.
But as surely as minutes add up to hours and days,
here you are,
forced into a story you never would have written.
Blessed are you in the tender place of wonder and dread,
Wondering how to be whole when dreams have disappeared and part of you with them,
where mastery, control, determination, bootstrapping, and grit,
are consigned to the realm of before (where most of the world lives),
in the fever dream that promises infinite choices, unlimited progress, best life now.
Blessed are we in the after, loudly shouting: is there anybody here?
We hear the echo, the shuffle of feet, the murmur of others
asking the same question, together in the knowledge
that we are far beyond what we know.
Show us a glimmer of possibility in this new constraint,
that small truths will be given back to us.
We are held.
We are safe.
We are loved.
We are loved.
We are loved.
And best of all: We are not alone.
If you believe every deaf child deserves the chance to explore, learn, and fall in love with science, share this webinar with your teacher friends!
