Redwood will participate in National Rock Your Socks Day on Friday, March 21st. On this day students are encouraged to wear their favorite brightly colored, patterned or mismatched socks to bring awareness and advocate for rights and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. All students and staff are encouraged to participate.

Our 2nd Redwood Fun Run is set for Tuesday May 27th, 2025! We are beyond thrilled to kick off another amazing Fun Run Event!

What is the Redwood School Fun Run?!

The Redwood School Fun Run is a 11 day program and is this semester’s biggest fundraiser, taking place on 05/27/2025. Families will be getting donations for the laps their student completes at the Redwood School Fun Run. Funds raised from this event go towards providing continued assemblies for our students, family community events, staff appreciation, and more! Our goal is to raise $16,000.00. Students will also have the opportunity to earn tons of prizes along the way for both themselves and their classrooms! More details to come on all of the prizes.

Registration details as well as parent sign up opportunities to participate in the Fun Run Event will be sent out in May, so no worries about registering your student(s) now.

This week your student(s) will be bringing home a Booster Frequently Asked Questions Sheet as well as a Business Sponsorship Form to ensure we are providing everyone with all of the details ahead of time, to get our students, families, friends, and our community excited!

Looking for a way to support the fundraiser before the fun begins?

Make sure to review our Business Sponsorship Form! We are so grateful to all of the businesses and families that partnered with us last year. Not only did you ensure that every student and staff member had a shirt for the event, but you additionally contributed towards our fundraising goal.

The primary component of our Community Business Partners Program is our Event shirt for our upcoming Fun Run, as we work to again provide one shirt for every student and staff member, as well as reach our fundraising goal of $16,000.00 towards our school! Your logo or name will be displayed on the shirt worn by over 400 students year-round, providing continuous exposure for your business! Please see the sponsorship information attached for pricing and details. We are asking that all donations (checks) be given by March 31st, 2025 as well as logos sent to mpyzoha589@yahoo.com, so that we can ensure your business is featured on our Fun Run shirt design.

If you have any questions about donating, please feel free to reach out to Morgan Stricker via text/cell at (440)669-8381 or email at mpyzoha589@yahoo.com.

Looking forward to another amazing event with our Redwood Community!

Notes from the Nurse:

I am starting to see an increase in Flu A positive in our students. Lorain County is reporting that the seasonal influenza this week and last week is HIGH (link for the report: https://odh.ohio.gov/know-our-programs/seasonal-influenza/influenza-dashboard). As per school policy, students should be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication before returning to school. Other symptoms to consider for the flu would be: persistent cough, ear pain, sore throat, headache and fatigue. Please reach out to your building nurse for further questions.
