PURCHASE A BRICK FOR THE REDWOOD LUNCH PLAZA
Don't forget that you can purchase a brick honoring a teacher, classmate or yourself. You can purchase Legacy Bricks or a Pavement Tile that will be installed this spring. In 2009 the Redwood PTSA created a beautiful lunch plaza facing the South Lawn with tables, trees, and brick pavers purchased by staff, alumni, student families and school groups. The deadline for this school year is March 1, but you can always purchase a tile.

REDWOOD FOUNDATION ANNUAL FUNDRAISING DRIVE
 The Redwood Foundation raised close to $500,000 last year for the school and has even higher goals this year. The Alumni donated close to $5000. We can do better than that. Out of over 23,000 alumni, a grand total of 27 made contributions. Please take time to keep Redwood strong. We need your support. Not a lot. Any gift, regardless of size, is important. Twenty-five, fifty, a hundred bucks, more if you can. Our goal is to raise $10,000 from the alumni this year.

The non-profit Redwood High School Foundation accepts tax deductable donations to supplement academics, arts, athletics, technology and scholarships. 100% of what is raised stays at Redwood. Really!
