In an effort to preserve the memory of those who have been important to the Mockingbird Community, a Memorial Garden was created. Generous donations were made in honor of Melissa Schutze and her son, to establish the Memorial Garden as pictured above in 2001. 

 

In 2003, in honor of Amy McBrayer, another parent who gave generously of herself to the Mockingbird community, a special sitting area with picnic tables was created.

The Site Based Decision Making Committee (SBDM) consists of representatives of the Mockingbird community: parents, faculty, and concerned persons from the neighborhood and deaf communities. The SBDM is the child-centered organizational unit of the community which focuses on assuring that all planning and implementation of educational programs benefits the academic and social development needs of our students. The entire Mockingbird  community is invited to attend the SBDM's monthly meetings. Please check out the calendar for meeting times or call the school office for details.
