CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION

The CSF (California Scholarship Federation) honor roll registration window will be open September 10th through Friday, September 26th. Students in grades 10-12 who qualify and want to join should fill out an application and bring it, along with their June report card, to be stamped in room 706 at lunch (no transcripts allowed, as they don't have citizenship marks; Ms. V. can do a grade check if you absolutely can't find your report card, but that takes much longer, so please bring the report card if you have it). The stamped form and $5 (check, credit card, or cash) are due no later than 9/26. You may submit this at the ASB finance office or, if you have exact change and don't need a receipt, to room 706. The window will close on Friday, September 26th, and late applications will not be accepted. 

 

Freshman can apply for CSF next semester once they have high school grades. Right now, they have their CJSF status from junior high.

Redondo Beach Educational Foundation (RBEF)

Your RBEF dollars at work at RUHS. Thanks to RBEF, RUHS purchased $5,100 in materials (CO2 probes, bio-chambers, etc.) to study soil microbial activity under varying environmental conditions (see pictures).

 

Reflecting on the impact on the students, Ms. Moberg, who is teaching Science at RUHS, said, "This project had a positive impact on students by fostering critical thinking, scientific literacy, and environmental awareness, while also promoting a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between microbial communities, ecosystems, and human activities, particularly in the context of sustainable food production. I am grateful to RBEF for providing the funds."

 

RBEF Investor Drive is ongoing till September 19th. Please help us secure the funding of impactful programs: https://www.rbef.org/rbef-impact/
