Our students continued to inspire their teachers and adults around them. I also wish to acknowledge the work of the Redlands Parents and Friends Association. Huge thanks to Michelle Tea, who is retiring as President of the RPFA, and all of the RPFA Committee for your efforts this year. Welcome to our incoming RPFA president JP Forrest. 3
