P.E. Student of the Month – September 2024
Laurieliz Saquiecela
“Laurieliz Saquicela has been selected as our Physical Education Student of the Month for September 2024. Laurieliz was new to our school and our physical education program towards the end of last year. It took her some time to feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. This year she has since shown great improvement. She is cooperative, is always willing to participate, has demonstrated good skill, and is becoming a role model for her peers. Congrats to Laurieliz on this award and keep up the good work.”

Inspire Future Generations
“I am a Senior at SMSD. I have better access to communication here. I can play sports here. At a hearing school, I may not be able to play because of communication issues. I have peers I can sign with, access to activities like drama, building trades, journalism, and work experience opportunities. If I was at a public school, the lack of communication would prevent me from being able to do any of these things.”
Saul, High School Student
“St. Mary’s School for the Deaf has been a large part of our lives. It is an incredible institution that provides everything needed to be successful. Our daughter Julia attended SMSD from Pre-K to Graduation. SMSD opened doors and provided opportunities that she would not get in mainstream environment. The dedicated staff are amazing and work very hard to obtain the best from each student. Julia graduated as Valedictorian and is in the honors program as a sophomore at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. SMSD is more than a school, it is a family. A family we are very proud to be a part of.”
