Amish schools find ways to serve special-needs children

CLARK, Mo. — Maryann Yoder, 5, will join her sister Edna, 7, and other Amish children in a local one-room schoolhouse in a few years. But until then, speech therapist Anna Crusha provides a different education for the girls, just for the two of them, in their tidy home every Thursday.

Crusha, working for the Sturgeon R-V School District, uses board games and other activities to improve their speech. The sisters are both partially deaf.

Filmmaker envisions documentary on Mennonites

A Mennonite filmmaker has announced plans for a documentary that he hopes will be the highest-profile production ever focused on Mennonites.

Buller Films and the Anabaptist Center for Religion and Society at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va., are in the early stages of a project that will explore American Mennonites’ impact on society and society’s impact on Mennonites.

Producer Burton Buller’s goal is to understand the role Mennonites have played in American political, social and economic culture, all through the lens of peace.
