SKECHERS
Join TEAM RUHS and RBEF for the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk supporting kids with special needs and our public schools.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2025
Who wouldn’t want to support an event that RAISES SO MUCH MONEY FOR OUR SCHOOL? Last year, TEAM RUHS had 468 walkers and received an incredible grant from RBEF for $17,640. This year, let’s show our Redondo pride as we pull together the
LARGEST TEAM EVER!
So WHAT will I do this year for 560 Team RUHS walkers?
Join TEAM RUHS and find out! Sign up your friends, family, co-workers and even your pets. This is also a great opportunity for family members and grandparents from out of town to support our school.
How will you walk with #TeamRUHS on Sunday, October 19th?
Walk the walk? Sleep walk? Virtually walk? Walk your dog? Moon walk?
It ALL counts!
Just make sure you #WalkWithRBUSD and #TeamRUHS because #WeAreRedondo. Don’t forget to check Redondo Beach Educational Foundation so that all of your walkers count for our school.
Note: Team RUHS only gets credit for each walker. If you want to give more, be sure to do so by registering extra walkers. Each individual walker is how we get credit for our grant – and Virtual Walkers count exactly the same as in-person walkers.
WEBINARS
RBUSD invites families to join the Parent Education Series, a set of virtual workshops designed to support your child’s academic, emotional, and social development. Each session is tailored by grade level and covers topics like screen time, mental health, risky behaviors, and building independence. Presentations are held online from 4:30–5:30 PM and recorded for convenience. Sign up to receive links and resources that help you support your child’s success
