Last Friday, Ingham ISD welcomed students who are deaf or hard of hearing—and their families—for an evening of games, laughter, and connection. The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Game Night brought together nearly 75 attendees for an event that prioritized inclusion and community-building.
The gathering offered students the chance to connect with peers who share similar experiences, while parents had an opportunity to meet, support one another, and learn about available resources.
Events like these remind us that connection and belonging are essential to student success—and that when we build community, everyone benefits.
