Shakori Trott Bermuda Wins Contest for Deaf Hard of Hearing | Bernews.com

Young Bermudian, Shakori Trott, a student at St. Joseph’s Institute for the Deaf, beat out a number of other entrants to win the East Missouri District Optimist Communications Contest for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in May 2010. His winning entry was based on a theme of “Cyber Communication: Progress or Problem?”, and he was awarded a $2,500 scholarship for the honor.

St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf, located in Missouri, serves children with hearing loss, preschool through eighth grade, with an auditory-oral education that includes academics, an intensive language curriculum and individualized speech therapy.

“Through his speech, Trott did a wonderful job of presenting his thoughts about the questions posed to him,” District Chairman Karl Tyminski said. “The members of our Optimist District have no doubt that Shakori Trott has a bright future ahead of him.”
