A group of students went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at N.T.I.D. on April 28th.  The actors signed the whole play and hearing actors interpreted.  Students were each asked to write down three differences between Deaf and hearing plays.  Here are some of their responses:

• “They all were Deaf and they had an interpreter”
• “It was different.  Cause the people in the play was signing.”
• “There were subtitles”
• “Intermission” -The play started late and the intermission lasted twice as long as they stated it would.  Deaf people like to chat and catch up.

On March 23, 2013, nine DRIVE students took advantage of Keuka College transportation to the Eastview Mall.  Two peer mentors and a DRIVE staff member accompanied the students.  Students had lunch and shopped for items that they needed.  After lunch, some students took a ride on the carousel in the food court.  Some students stopped at Brookstone where they were amazed by a Brookstone employee flying a toy drone.  Other students went to the Lego Store to window shop where there were Lego kits ranging from $10-over $400.  A few students, threw coins in the foutain and made a wish.  Overall, it was a fun time for all.
