Holiday greetings from OSD
students broadcast statewide on
TV
School for the Deaf students hit the KOKH Fox 25 TV airwaves on
Nov. 19 with signed and spoken Holiday Greetings for the public
and their families.
A series of 30 and 15 second messages were recorded the week
before Thanksgiving featuring elementary and high school students;
football, cheerleading and basketball teams; and several groups of
students who sent special greetings to their home towns.
KOKH Account Executive Brittany Jo Curtis successfully pitched the
concept to KaAnn Varner and Business Manager Betty Stephens
based on holiday greetings campaigns from the troops and a similar
ad campaign from a school for the deaf in another state.
OSD Superintendent KaAnn Varner loved the idea and pulled it off
with assistance from her capable secretary, Sally Henry. Henry
coordinated groups of students wearing red Santa hats in the school
gym. OSD Drama Teacher Arthur Waldrip set up a back drop of
snow-covered trees created for OSD’s holiday play.
OSB alumni

pride with
panther statue
