OCM BOCES Deaf Program Students Attend Naturalization Ceremony

Earlier this year, students and teachers from the OCM BOCES Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program at Solvay High School attended a naturalization ceremony at Syracuse's Federal Court House. They were able to witness a former OCM BOCES student and classmate, Tamla Too, as she became an American citizen. While 28 other candidates spoke their oaths of citizenship, Tamla used American Sign Language to take her oath. The experience was very moving for the students, staff and Tamla's family.
