SHELTER COVE STUDENTS SEE THE A'S

PLAY BALL!

Thank You Redwood Staff !

TK/K New Student Enrollment Night!

Redwood Student Parade!

Traditional Dance Performance!

I want to give a big shout-out to the staff at Redwood for the events they supported this week.

On Wednesday, they supported the first TK/K registration night we have hosted in recent years. Our families and newest students felt welcome as they moved through the event. The time and thought the staff put into the night was much appreciated.

On Friday, Redwood hosted the Día de los Niños event. They started with a parade in the morning. Later in the day, they had a tasty snack while being entertained by the folkloric dance group comprised of students from other sites in our district. A big thank you to the student performers, staff, and parents who made this event possible.

FBUSD will recognize Staff Appreciation Week from May 11 to May 15. More information will be coming soon.

Have a great weekend.

-Joe
