News You Can Use
April 24, 2022
What a weekend?! Whether you joined us at the amazing Imagine A World Outdoors Steam Festival or kicked off Spring sports in Redding with your kiddos, we hope it was fantastic! The RES Science Fair was terrific. Kudos to the record number of students who participated - 52!!
Special thanks to RES parents Meredith Ahlberg and Meghan Huszagh for bringing this incredible fair to life! Hours of creativity, excitement and hard work paid off in smiles and wonder on the faces of our kids on that sunny, Spring Saturday. Thank you, ladies, for bringing STEAM to life at RES!
We must extend another huge thank you to our Book Fair Chairwoman, Vanessa Gatti. Vanessa - and the countless volunteers who helped with set up, sales and take down - did an amazing job to fill our backpacks and lighten our wallets with great reads. The funds raised from our Book Fair and other fundraisers throughout the year support programs like Imagine A World- Outdoors and the International Festival, keeping them free and accessible for all RES students and families.
