🚀 In Ms. Shelby’s class, our 3rd–6th grade students had a blast with a fun STEM activity. They made paper rockets powered by straws! They launched them down the hallway to see whose rocket could fly the farthest. So much fun watching creativity take off! #StRitaSchoolfortheDeaf #STEMFun #HandsOnLearning

Mrs. Kris, the gym teacher, always makes gym time so much fun! Our K-2 students are enjoying gym class today by working in partners to get the birdie into the hoop. It definitely takes a lot of patience and practice, but these students are doing it like champs! #StRitaSchoolfortheDeaf #GymClassFun #Teamwork

🐰🎭🌃 Preschool Field Trip Highlights! Our preschoolers had a great time at the Aronoff Center watching a performance of The Runaway Bunny and Goodnight Moon!

They loved the show and were already asking when they could go back. But the real favorite? Riding in the car with friends! 😊
