We need YOU! Park Ambassadors are park lovers who are dedicated to keeping the parks safe, clean, and fun for everyone. Park ambassadors also help to spread the word about Stulsaft Park's new dogs off-leash pilot program. Anyone can be a Park ambassador, just stop by the Community Activities Building at 1400 Roosevelt to sign up and pick up a Park Ambassador button to make it official!  Email recreation@redwoodcity.org for more info.

Ten Redwood City elementary schools will soon offer physical education for students thanks to a local partnership grant. Redwood City and its Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department will be helping to provide physical education programs to the local youth, in partnership with Peninsula Community Center which has received a grant of more than $575,000 from the Sequoia Healthcare District's Healthy Schools Initiative.  Click for the full article.

Summer is not over yet, but August means the beginning of school! This year at Sandpiper, not only do we have the popular Sandpiper Youth Club program for 1st through 5th grades, but we have extended our 2 hour Kindergarten program (K-Play) to 5 days!  Register now and check that off of your "to-do" list!

 

Also! We have more ways to stay in touch with the Shores! You can..

A) Sign up for our Redwood Shores Families eNewsletters

Lastly, we have a TON of after school enrichment classes coming your way. They will be listed in the Fall Activity Guide (available late August) and we'll have flyers at the school!
