Heritage & Inclusion Night
Performers Needed!
December 8th, 2022
5:30PM - 7:30PM
Redmond High School.
This is a FREE event (hosted by your PTA) that the whole family will enjoy. Heritage Night is an opportunity to showcase the beautiful and richly diverse cultures in our community. Kids will receive a blank passport as they enter the event. They can then visit the variety of booths in the auditorium. The kiddos who fill their passport with stamps from around the world will receive a small prize at the end. Families will also enjoy a showcase of performances from around the world.
Kids of all ages love Heritage Night. It's a great time for the community to come together, and to learn about and celebrate each other. We can't wait to see you there!

Holiday Gift Card Drive for Rockwell Families
The PTA is hosting a holiday gift card drive for Rockwell Families in need. To contribute, please purchase a $25 gift certificate at Target or Fred Meyer. We chose these specific stores because there are multiple locations nearby, and because families can use the funds to purchase either holiday gifts or grocery items. We are asking for a specific denomination ($25) to ensure that we can distribute the cards equally among all the families who need them.
The drive will run November 30 through December 9th. During these dates, please look for PTA volunteers at the car drop-off/pick-up line, at the flagpole, and at the back of the school. PTA volunteers will be at these locations at the beginning and at the end of each school day.
Please place the donated gift cards in an envelope that has the name of your child (or children) on the outside of the envelope - the PTA will write each child's name who donated to the drive on a snowflake located near the office (as a show of thanks for your family's generosity).
Families who need help this holiday season should email the school counselor, Kristin Bauer (kbauer@lwsd.org). Names of families who receive gift card donations will be kept strictly confidential.
Thank you!
