The Northeastern Area Elementary School Rezoning Study is underway and will result in the creation of an attendance zone for Jordan Springs Elementary School. The rezoning may impact some students at Redbud Run, Stonewall and possibly Apple Pie Ridge elementary schools.

Throughout the summer, we will post challenges for you to complete on our Redbud Run Elementary School Facebook page. You will have the chance to share your completed challenges in the comments or send pictures we will upload to our Facebook site.

Thank you to our SCA for all of their hard work this year! For their final service projects, they sponsored a food drive in honor of the 100th birthday of Winchester's Salvation Army. They also encouraged their classmates to complete 100 acts of kindness in order to celebrate the Salvation Army. Yesterday, they visited the SPCA to drop off donations they purchased with the remainder of their budget from selling Valentine Grams. Great work Anthony, Bella, Jenifer, and Layne! You've been a true example of the Rocket Way.
