Rocky Mountain School For The Deaf Needs Donations

GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) - Students at the Rocky Mountain Deaf School in Golden are making a plea for help. They say they are in desperate need of a new building.

The school sits in a strip mall. They say the roof leaks, they're short on space and the gym is too small.

Teachers say the building doesn't reflect the outstanding programming at the school and they've even had to relocate five times in 13 years.

Students say they're just looking for a place to call home.

The school is asking for donations and seeking a grant from the state to build a new school.

"We need something really big with more space. We need to have grass outside, there isn't any grass outside … we need a playground with grass and we need swings," a student said.
