    AWARDS NIGHT

Only those students being honored at Awards Night and their parents receive invitations to attend the ceremony. It is an exciting and rewarding evening for both students and parents.

    STELLAR STUDENTS
    - Each of the departments nominates a sixth, seventh, and eighth grade student to be honored for academic achievement, tremendous improvement, or for excellent citizenship. In order to be selected, the student must be approved by the entire staff. This is an opportunity to honor some of Redwood's special students as well as their parents.
