RMDS is BLOOMING in the month of May!

The RMDS story is inspiring..a little school for deaf children
that is gaining more and more national attention as a
school of excellence in bilingual education. It is the
teamwork that makes Rocky Mountain Deaf School what
it is! And as we near the end of another school year, I am
amazed at how much we have accomplished together.
We could not have done it without this blessing of
partnership. So thank you for all that you do to support
your child and our school. And thank you to all the
volunteers who generously donate their time and energy
to the many events and programs at RMDS.

Also, in case you haven't heard all the buzz around
school, our RMDS bill has flown through the Colorado
House and Senate. Those extra funds will go far in
helping us to pay for our building, technology, and
supplies needs in future years. As our numbers grow,
we know that the future truly looks bright for RMDS!

Sincerely yours,
Dr. Janet Dickinson
