  • Better Speech and Hearing Month

    In honor of Better Speech and Hearing Month, one of our amazing speech teachers, Tracy, created a special bulletin board celebrating what good communication means to our students. Each student drew their ideas—and with a little help from ChatGPT, we transformed those drawings into 3D renderings!  We’re so proud of the creativity, imagination, and voices of our students. Communication comes in many forms—and every voice matters. #BetterSpeechAndHearingMonth #StudentVoices #DeafEducation #SpeechAndLanguage

    📖✨ Today we were thrilled to welcome Haley Hartfeld, a Deaf author, to our school! Haley shared her powerful story and read her book about growing up with a cochlear implant. Her visit sparked meaningful conversations, inspired our students, and celebrated the beauty of diverse Deaf experiences. Thank you, Haley, for sharing your voice with us! 💙🌟 #RepresentationMatters

  • STEM Time!

    🧠✨ STEM in action! Our students had a blast working with dominoes—exploring chain reactions, cause and effect, and the power of persistence through hands-on learning. Every topple brought cheers and lessons in motion, design, and teamwork!
