by “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” for an extreme makeover this coming 

week.  Students, parents and staff were surprised this afternoon by the arrival of 

the famed bus and Mr. EMHE himself:  Ty Pennington.   We are thankful for the 

outpouring of community support and are thrilled to have been chosen for this 

unforgettable opportunity of a lifetime.  THANK YOU, EMHE, sponsors, 

volunteers and friends!  

 

Creating even more excitement, the students and staff learned that Starkey 

Foundation will be bringing students to Minnesota for a school family vacation 

and hearing aid give-away.  Oregon School for the Deaf Director, Patti Togioka, 

was overwhelmed by the generosity of Starkey Foundation to provide hearing 

aids to students, staff, alumni and parents.  Bringing the school to Minnesota is 

beyond her wildest dreams, she told the crowd. 

 

On behalf of the Oregon School for the Deaf, the Oregon Department of 

Education, the staff, parents and students, we wish to thank Rich Duncan 

Construction Inc, the wonderful staff at “Extreme Makeover Home Edition” the 

Starkey Foundation and all of the amazing companies and individuals who have 

poured so much energy into our school.
