: Same outfit. Different teachers. New school year. 😎

Rosen Family School's Teacher Misty and Teacher Bebe had everyone doing a double take on the first day of school!

While they may look like twins today, they're two fantastic Deaf teachers helping our students learn, grow, and thrive. 💙

We're still enrolling infants and preschoolers for the 2026-2027 school year. Learn more about Rosen Family School and join our community!
