Looking Back, Looking Forward In this report, we thank YOU for your tremendous support of Redwood Day School during the 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 school years. Thank you for being part of our community, for believing in our mission, and for supporting our vision as we work together to bring our dreams to reality. Back in 2013, we celebrated our 50th Anniversary in the midst of our most successful project to date—the expansion of our Middle School. Expansion provided new academic, social and emotional opportunities for our students. It also fostered deep collaboration among our Middle School Faculty, and enabled us to offer new programs such as robotics and Design Thinking. Expansion strengthened and solidified Redwood Day School’s position in Oakland, and interest in our school continues to soar today! Expansion also encouraged creative thinking about the future of our campus, and the best ways to create facilities that allow us to innovate and offer cutting edge programs. At our 50th Anniversary Celebration in April 2014, we kicked off the Here We Grow Capital Campaign to support construction of a brand new 10,000+ sq. ft. facility and the repurposing of existing facilities to better meet our needs. Today, the building is going up before our eyes, a testimony to the unwavering commitment and dedication of our community. When the project is complete in September 2016, RDS will have three state-of-the-art science labs, an innovation lab (EPI Center), a new K–5 art studio, new Middle School core classrooms, an outdoor performance stage, and a new music recording studio and rehearsal space. Over the past two years, we have also experienced tremendous program growth with the implementation of Math in Focus, Writer’s Workshop, a new K–5 science lab, new K–8 Spanish curriculum, new technology courses in the Middle School, and equity and inclusion groups. As the footprint of our school grows, our administration, faculty and staff continue to innovate and bring new ideas to fruition to benefit our students. Gifts to Redwood Day School are essential to thinking creatively about our present and our future. Your donations enable us to be at the forefront of education, to provide an exceptional program, to be reflective of our community, and to offer meaningful professional development for our faculty and staff. Ultimately, your support directly ensures the best possible educational experience for our students. Thank you for making it all possible. With Gratitude, John Loeser Head of School 3
