Congratulations to our 8/29/24 Reede Gray Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. We are excited this week as we Welcome Back our students, families and staff and are ready to be growing in our Character Strong skills starting with a focus on Kindness. Kindness means acting with understanding, generosity and care. Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly by herself across the Atlantic Ocean said, “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions and the roots spring up new trees.” Showing Kindness towards ourselves and others makes our classroom and our school a better place. We are so proud of each and every one of our students at the start of this 24-25 school year and want to celebrate this group of students for all of their Kindness character! Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #BeKind #Mawastecake

Due to generous donations and grants, Redwood Valley High School was able to purchase an Anatomage Table. This device is used for 3D anatomy study and virtual dissection. It is being used at many of the world's leading medical schools and colleges. To see more of what experiences this device can provide for our students, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9cx4nGXB0w.

Attention Juniors & Seniors!
This school year RVHS, in partnership with Monarch Healthcare Management, will be offering a NEW two-credit course. For those interested and accepted, in the Fall of 2024, students will be enrolled in an Evening CNA course held at River Valley Health & Rehabilitation. In the Spring of 2025, students will then be enrolled in Career Mentorship. This is a course that allows RVHS students to participate in paid internships. For this course, students can intern at a Monarch facility during their class period, after school, or on weekends.
This will allow students to "take off" two credits during the school day.
How do I participate?
1) Connect with Mrs. Carlson to complete an application for the CNA course and the Career Mentoring Program
2) Interview and hired " with Monarch/ River Valley
Please let me know if you are interested or if you have any additional questions,
Ally
