Hello, Parents!
We hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving Break! We had a good week. There were several events happening during the week. Before Thanksgiving break, Middle School students were assigned a young student from either Learning Center, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten or some of first grade class to help them making a wish list for Signing Santa by choosing pictures from catalogs and helping them write. This was like mentoring. Last Monday, the Middle School students met with the younger students to rehearse signing their letters to the Santa with their wish list.
Last Tuesday, the whole school went to Cherry Creek Mall to meet Signing Santa. Middle School students met with the younger children to support them with Signing Santa. In fact, our event was captured by the CBS4 news!! Hope everyone did watched our event, but if not, don’t worry! Here’s the link: Signing Santa (be sure to link the signing santa picture below the current video)
Today, we had a guest visitor, Angelyne, “The Amazing Deaf Cattle Dog”. His owner, Eric Melvin demonstrated his tricks with Angelyne to the whole school. The students enjoyed viewing the demonstration. Several students participated using tricks with Angelyne.
Enjoy!

Last week on November 6th, the Middle School students went on a field trip to the Boondocks in Northglenn. It was co-sponsored by CSDB Outreach program and a teacher at Hill Middle School. They invited all middle school deaf programs in the Metro Denver area to meet at Boondocks. The students really enjoyed their fun day by riding on the Go-Karts and playing arcade games. Not only they get to play games, it was a chance for our middle school students to meet other deaf students from another schools. There were about 7 programs in attendance and over 75 people attending. Here are the images from our fun day at Boondocks:

Hello, Parents! It was a busy week! This was the last week of the first quarter. Last Wednesday, we held Family Math Night. Everyone had a great time. The most popular middle school math event was “Wild Trail Mix” with fractions. Many parents enjoyed the game. Families can continue to play “Wild Trail Mix” at home with their child. Here are the images from Family Math Night-
Last Night was a big event for RMDS. Jefferson County Education Center had approved our request for high school. Some of our middle school students did present on our behalf to the panel. They did an impressive job! We would like to thank Christine Pendley, David Wilcox, Greta Wolcott, Mia White, and Justice Grumbach. We would also like to thank Matthew Cowger giving the middle school students’ letters to the Jefferson County Board members. We want to thank all the parents, staff and students for showing up to show their support! Here are the images from Board meeting-
Today, we had our first SBG meeting. The students are planning different ways to set up fundraising and middle school events. We will keep you posted if we need your help with our fundraising and middle school events. Today at the assembly, we had a visitor from Jefferson County Police K-9 unit. He did some demonstration how the dogs search for drugs and bomb.
We teachers are currently working on Gradebook. You will expect to see your child’s final grades next week. Thank you for all of your patience.
Have a great weekend!
