Our Dream Makers Scholarship Benefit started decades ago with a Rolls Royce grand prize and simple bologna sandwiches. Now, 50 years later, we’re celebrating with Glitz, Glamour & Giving. As we prepare for DM50, we’re putting together a special anniversary video and slideshow to honor the memories, milestones, and the amazing people who made it all possible.

Were you part of Dream Makers over the years? Did you volunteer, sponsor, attend, or win a prize? We’d love to hear from you!

Share your stories, photos, or a short video message and help us celebrate 50 incredible years.

🍦😋 Ice Cream Taste Test! Last Friday, in Mrs. Nanci and Mrs. Kindra's class, our students had fun doing a taste test of different ice cream flavors. There were lots of smiles and happy reactions! In the end, mint chocolate chip was the clear favorite. What is your favorite ice cream flavor??

A Fun Visit with Lakota West! Last week, ASL students from Lakota West High School visited SRSD to interact with our K–6 students. Everyone had a great time playing Deaf-friendly games like the telephone game, races, and other fun activities.
One of the coolest parts was designing medals together! Inspired by Winter Olympics gold medal winner Elana Meyers Taylor, who has two Deaf sons, students got creative and designed their own medals. 🥇
It was such a fun day filled with connection, laughter, and learning. Thank you for visiting! You’re always welcome back! Our students had an amazing time.
