Musical flyer

Redwood Middle School PTA is excited to announce Curtains: Young@Part as the annual musical production for next school year! Misty Davies and Erin Gavin will be at the helm of this endeavor, co-directing and choreographing the show! Erin and Misty have been working together for many years producing a number of musicals, including Anastasia:The Musical Youth Edition at Redwood during the 23-24 school year. We are thrilled to be back on board at Redwood and look forward to welcoming new and returning students to the musical. All who audition will be cast. 

If you are interested in auditioning or learning more as you consider auditioning, please join our Google Classroom using code d3m55ds. We will populate the classroom during the summer with important information, as we prepare for auditions in late August or early September. Be on the lookout!  A welcome message is waiting on you in the classroom.

If you have any questions, email Erin and Misty at musical-chair@redwoodmiddlepta.org

 SARATOGA EDUCATION FOUNDATION (SEF) WORKSHOP SURVEY

This year, the Saratoga Education Foundation (SEF) launched a new series of workshops designed to meet the needs of our community, based on feedback from principals and Saratoga families. In the spring, we offered several sessions on parenting topics—and now we’d love to hear your thoughts. Whether or not you attended a workshop, your input is important to us. Please take a moment to complete this anonymous survey and help us enhance our offerings for the upcoming school year.
