SHEP’s Connection Corner - August Newsletter
SHEP’s Connection Corner
August 2025
Give me the scoop!
It Got us Again!
The storm that is! It got us. We had to move our July social from Scissortail Park to Starbucks due to the rainstorm. Oh, but it didn’t rain on our parade! We still had quite a time with Iamdb with cafe drinks as our companions.
Vicky, our operation’s manager, got in a lot of sign language practice. When the tables turned and Vicky was in the spotlight, it turned the heat up a few notches. Haha! This was a beautiful merge with the hearing world and DeafBlind culture.
Each person took turns signing phrases for Vicky to learn and sign back. There were the phrases: I need help, How are you?, found eggs, You work good, you are trouble, and where’s your SSP?
No worries! They took it easy on her! Bring your friends and family to the events! We are all part of the community! We love opportunities to spread awarenEss and communication.
August is the month the kids are getting ready for school! Do you have a back to school routine? How about those expenses?
We’d like to take a poll and post the results in next month’s newsletter. Some public schools require uniforms. What is your vote; Yes, i prefer uniforms or No, I’m against making students where uniforms to school? Email us your answer at humanresources@shep-ok.org. We can’t wait to receive your responses!
Well to the adult learners out there, we haven’t forgotten about you! It’s “back to school for everyone” time! Let us know how we can support you in your needs for shopping, appointments; really anything that is necessary for the running of your household. If we aren’t able to provide an ssp for you , we could definitely help you find these resources.
SSP, anyone? Yes, we are still hiring SSPs. Don’t think you’re not qualified! Reach out to us, you may be surprised as to how much you already know could turn into a great side job or part-time work. Contact us today.
Look below for what’s coming ahead and we’ll see you there!

Scripture for the month:
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up
-Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Riddle me this:
Riddle: I am always coming, but never arrive. I am always near, but never here. I am always present, but never here to stay. What am I?
Answer: Tomorrow.
Challenge of the month:
We challenge you! How do you prepare for fall? Send us your fall prep routine so we can share it.
