Meet Arwyn — an amazing Rochester School for the Deaf 6th grader now representing New York in the new PBS KIDS series, AMERICA’S AWESOME KIDS!

Released today, the national series celebrates children from across the country by highlighting their passions, communities, and everyday lives.

The episode follows Arwyn around Rochester — at home, at her schools, dancing in the community, participating in Scouts, and spending time on RSD’s beautiful campus alongside classmates and friends. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the life of a vibrant Deaf young person growing, learning, and thriving in our community.

We could not be prouder to see Arwyn representing RSD, Rochester, the Deaf community, and New York on a national stage. 💙🧡

Watch the series online at PBS KIDS and help us celebrate this awesome achievement!
