Ways To Give

Help fund programs that benefit every child at RHS!

Redwood Heights School is a thriving public school in part because of parent support both in terms of time and money. RHS PTA spends more than $800 per child each year to support learning and inspire creativity in our students. To meet this commitment and grow our programs for next year, the PTA needs YOU to help us meet our fundraising goals.

This funds programs such as our Arts program including our Art instructor and the Arts studio, our classroom specialists who provide small group instruction to our students, our technology licenses, our on-site social emotional programs including our school counselor and HUGS program, our gardening/environmental curriculum, our library, classroom supplies, and more.
