Introduction

4 Young girls participating in Jump Rope for Heart.

Young Jump Rope for Heart Participants.

Our community is very involved as evidenced by our active School Council and Parent Volunteers. Parents offer students Healthy Snacks, sponsored by Childhood Enfance, and Scholastic Book Fairs. Parents are welcome members of our school community, as seen by their involvement in their children’s classes and countless hours of volunteering in many aspects of school operations.

As part of the “Pay It Forward” initiative, Redwood Acres Public School staff and students do ordinary good deeds, that lead to extraordinary good things. We participate in the Terry Fox Run, Nickels for the North, Christmas Food Drive, Jump Rope in addition to supporting many other community organizations and initiatives.
