Parenting During COVID support group Starting Monday, October 19th @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Dear RHS Community,

Please join us for the Parenting During COVID support group!

Join other parents in supporting each other and discussing ways to navigate this difficult time. This group is for caregivers who are feeling stressed and overwhelmed as distance learning and challenging life situations continue. To be clear, this is not a therapy group, it is an opportunity for folks to come together to connect, support each other and know that you are not alone in feeling like it is all too much!

Please join Ms. Jennifer and fellow parents for this confidential and supportive forum. 

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Ms. Jennifer at jenniferrhshugs@gmail.com

Redwood Heights OCTOBER FOOD DRIVE!!

Hello RHS Community!

I first of all want to say thank you to all of you who have supported the GoFundMe campaign for our families.

Many of you have asked if there are other ways to support families and the answer is “Yes”!

WHAT: Redwood Heights OCTOBER FOOD DRIVE!!

WHEN: Starting Thursday, October 1

HOW: Every Tuesday and Thursday, between 8:30 am -

12:00 pm, there will be bins at the main front

entrance to the school at 4401 39th Ave. You may drop off

food in the bins. Please do not leave food at other times unless you have

arranged it with Ms. Jennifer or Principal Bagby.

WHO: Everyone! Anyone can donate.

We are accepting all non perishable foods. If you want to donate flour or sugar, please make sure it is in secure packaging.

During this time of shelter-in-place due to COVID, some Redwood Heights families have been severely impacted and unable to pay rent or buy food. Some are unable to leave their homes to access food banks or other resources due to medical reasons, lack of safe transportation, or other obstacles.

We have been able to provide some cash assistance through our PTA; however, we have realized that the needs are greater than what the PTA is able to provide on its own.

We have been working with RHS parents who need immediate cash assistance to support their families and avoid falling through the cracks.

This cash support will be a lifeline for these parents, allowing them to feed their children, stay in their homes, pay for medical costs, and maintain their utilities. They are so grateful and frequently in tears upon receiving help from the community.

We can all really make a difference here! We are fortunate to have a generous, caring community.

All funds raised from this campaign will go directly to RHS families in need of financial support during this time. 

Thank you for supporting these families and showing up in community!

Warmly,

Jennifer Wilson
