This is open not only to members of the Avenue of Giants, but any interested Alumni. If your are doing something that you think students would be interested in hearing about, and you would like to share your wisdom, please fill out the attached survey by March 15. We cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to participate but we will do our best to match you with interested classes.

IT'S TIME FOR THE ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP DRIVE!
Each spring, as seniors hear from colleges and universities, the Redwood Alumni Association reaches out for funds to support the Redwood Alumni Scholarship. Our goal is to raise more than $2500 by May 1 so that we can give a scholarship to a deserving Redwood student. The Alumni Scholarship is awarded to a senior who has excelled in high school despite financial hardship

Zachary Lopez-Brennan was the 2017 recipient of the $2500 Redwood Alumni Scholarship. He is also the son of Redwood Alum, Michael Brennan '86.He is attending UCSB and studying Physics and Astronomy, with a special interest in rocket science.

Your help is needed. Please make a donation of $25 or more. If you would like to make your donation in honor of a special teacher or classmate, please fill out the information on the form and we will pay tribute to them on our website.
