Guided by our 2025–2026 theme—Language, Connection, Unity—PSD empowers students to:

• Build strong language foundations in ASL and English
• Form meaningful relationships with peers and mentors
• Grow into confident, capable individuals ready for the future

At PSD, learning does not stop in June. Through Extended School Year (ESY) Summer Programming, students strengthen ASL and English language development, deepen academic skills, and engage in hands-on experiences that foster confidence, independence, and connection.

WHERE YOUR IMPACT WILL BE SEEN

Today, your gift helps expand and strengthen ESY Summer Programming, allowing PSD to:

• Sustain continuous language access during the summer months
• Strengthen literacy, math, and communication skills through engaging, hands-on learning
• Provide enrichment opportunities in STEAM, athletics, and the arts
• Support social development and peer connection in a language-rich environment
• Extend transition and life-skills programming for older students preparing for independence

Your support ensures that students continue to receive support and opportunities beyond the traditional school year and  return in the fall more confident, and ready to succeed.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!

Thanks to a generous matching gift sponsorship from the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf Board of Trustees, every donation made to PSD on National ASL DAY  will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5,000.

Your generosity will go twice as far in supporting student success, expanding programs, and strengthening services across campus.
