High School Sports Awards Thursday evening our high school sports awards were given out. Congratulations to Brandon Kim and Hannah Sabangan for winning men and women's athlete of the year as well as congratulations to the men's volleyball team for winning the Inland Coast championship. Thank you to everyone for such an amazing year in sports! Thank yo to all our parents and friends who have given money to help us purchase handbells. For eight years we have been blessed with the long-term loan of a 4-octave set of handbells from a family whose children used to attend RAA. Having these extra bells has enabled our handbell program to include about one third more students than we could without them. It has allowed us to both take more students to handbell festivals and to perform music composed for two ensembles with our students. Now, they need to sell these bells and have given our school the first chance to purchase them. We need to raise $7,000 in the next few months. This is a significant savings over buying a new or used set, and our best opportunity to permanently expand our program. Your generous contribution will enable our students to continue using these bells as we work to achieve the highest standards in handbell ringing. Your tax-deductible donation will be gratefully accepted by the RAA Business Office. Please contact me if you have any questions. Peace, James Walters jwalters@redlandsacademy.org 909-793-1000 x. 140
