Lower Nob Hill

This is our third year at Redding Elementary and we can't imagine being anywhere else... yet! As depicted in the photographs, the surrounding streets can be awfully gruesome and there's much the City can, and needs to, do to make the area safer and more pleasant for our little angels but it's a little piece of heaven once you're inside the newly renovated school. In my opinion, Redding has many different communities rather than one tight-knit one which is such a pity as, in appearance, it's clearly very diverse but, like the colors of the rainbow, they remain separate from one another. Much needs to be done to bring the many groups together in the hope that there can be more understanding, acceptance, tolerance, inclusiveness and to inevitably create a more harmonious environment for all.Yes, bullying does occur as with every school but instances do seem to be increasing mainly due to the fact that not much, if anything at all, is done to tackle it. The children are called into to the office for a little chat and swiftly sent back to class... Next!The principal is extremely dedicated and she and her team work incredibly hard to run the school as smoothly as possible, however, she is at times struggling to interact with the many different groups that make up the Redding community in a more impactful and relatable level.All that said, the teachers from TK all the way through to 5th Grade are just pure class and the saving grace. They are the glue that bonds Redding together and are the true champions here. I cannot thank them nor praise their enormous efforts enough. Thank you all so very much!
