NEW! RHS Donors Choose
September 20, 2019
Dear RHS Caregivers,
We are appealing to our entire community for help.
The trusty old RHS copy machine has finally bitten the dust. It is 12-15 years old and has made over 2 MILLION copies for our school. Due in large part to its oversight, care, and protection by our amazing office staff member, Margaret Moulding, we have been able to get incredible value from this machine, eaking out many more copies than is typical. But last week, much to our sorrow, it ended its service to us, peacefully in its sleep. We have consulted with our copy repair company and unfortunately, it is finally, after countless repairs over the years, irreparable. Our current school OUSD budget can not accommodate a large, one-time expense such as this. This sudden event has left teachers, students, and office staff scrambling. Though much of our teaching, learning, and administrative matters have shifted to digital means, we still rely on the copier for many projects--classroom learning materials that go directly into students’ hands mostly, as well as important information that goes home to you, and much, much more. A copy machine is the engine of a school. Without it, we go nowhere. So if you can, please, please contribute to this cause and help get RHS students, teachers, and staff a new copy machine that will last us for the next decade or two. We are waiting on a quote but we are expecting it to cost at least $7000. ANY contribution amount will be helpful. You can make a check out directly to Redwood Heights School. Please put Copy Machine in the memo, and drop it off with our office staff.
Last week, Ms. Weissman asked for donations to her DonorsChoose project to fund the purchase of a small group table. Within hours her project was funded! Thank you SO very much!!!! To those of you who wanted to donate but went on the site to find her project already funded, there will now be regular opportunities to help through this new RHSDonorsChoose section of the Spotlight on Learning, starting with this project for a new copier.
THANK YOU for helping to make the RHS world go round.
