Rocky Mountain PBS On The Move

Rocky Mountain PBS plans to move headquarters.

Rocky Mountain PBS is marking its 60th anniversary with a Denver Central Library exhibit sharing with visitors its past, while CEO Doug Price, looks to its future.

The public broadcaster is working towards a $30 million capital campaign to fund new headquarters at 21st and Arapahoe streets.

The project, with Rocky Mountain PBS at its core, will ignite development in a neighborhood on the verge of urban revival.

If funding goals are met, RMPBS’s plans include a major new complex containing offices, studios, a theater possibly to be run by the Denver Center for Performing Arts, a “Discovery and Exploration Center” or digital learning lab for inner-city kids as well as an educational campus for the University of Colorado media department.

RMPBS’s plan still requires city approval.

Scott Reiman, local investor, business leader and philanthropist, is proud to serve on the board of directors and support Rocky Mountain PBS.

Arts & Education Go Hand-In-Hand at DCPA

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) merges two of Scott Reiman’s passions, education and arts, through its Teacher & Classroom Resources. From customized training sessions to theater field trips to on-site workshops, DCPA helps teachers to integrate the arts into the curriculum. The DCPA will work with teachers to customize a program to meet the specific needs of the students.

Through the arts, students will not only practice problem solving and critical thinking, but will also further explore principles in math, social studies, health, science and language.

The DCPA is the world’s largest performance facility under one roof, spanning four blocks and 12 acres in downtown Denver.

Back to School at Graland Country Day School

It’s hard to believe the long days of summer break are over and it’s back-to-school time already! Graland Country Day School welcomed its students back to campus this week. Lots of smiling faces were seen as the students arrived on the first day. It easy to see they’re already off to a great start to another successful school year!

Scott Reiman remembers the first day each of his own children went off to kindergarten at Graland. He and his wife know the value of a good education and based on the school’s outstanding reputation, they were thrilled to send their children there. Their personal experiences with the school only confirmed what they had already heard. Still today they continue to be impressed with school and its focus on building thoughtful, engaged citizens.

Scott Reiman & Reiman Foundation Support Graland

Back in 2009, Reiman co-funded the Hamilton Reiman Building, where students now engage in literacy, theater and choir activities. Still today, Reiman and the Reiman Foundation are proud to continue supporting the important work of the Graland Country Day School.
