December 24

    Hello and thank you for being a Rossbrook House supporter. My history with Rossbrook House began long before I was born. My grandma, Vera Missyabit, was instrumental in building the early Rossbrook House community. Her home was a second Rossbrook House to many of the early participants. There was always something good to eat, and lessons to learn about generosity and caring for the community.  She was a beloved source of strength. I consider myself very lucky to have had her as a role model, showing me that we can all make a difference with some kindness. I

Support Children and Youth

Jennifer Flamand, has been involved with Rossbrook House since 2009 as a teacher in two of their off-campus schools, Eagles’ Circle Junior High and Rising Sun High School.

The smaller class size and the feeling of belonging are a huge part of why these schools work for our students. I have worked with the Rossbrook House staff in many different aspects of my job. I love how they hire from within and
