Announcements and Events

It is with great enthusiasm and sincere care for the well-being of our students that we have partnered with Sage Virtual Mental Health in creating an opportunity to learn more about their health and wellness. Our Director of Student Life, Christina Morse, along with our School Counselor Emilie Padua-Douglas, will inquire about student wellness through an online screening that will be taken by our upper school students on January 27 during the advisory period. Please take a look at our Parent Letter that will explain more information, review FAQs, and discuss parent consent. We hope you will discuss with your child the importance of participating honestly and transparently. If you would like more information, please contact Christina Morse at CMorse@RollingHillsPrep.org.  Thank you in advance for your participation.

We are intending to move the RHP football program forward in many ways in the coming season. We are looking to start this soon with a gathering of current and interested players and parents to hear about some of the exciting plans we are putting in place for the team.

The meeting has been scheduled at S.H.I.F.T. Gym on January 31, at 6pm.

The address is 131 Palos Verdes Blvd, Redondo Beach CA 90277, and parking is either in the parking structure in the rear of the building or in front on the road.

Thursday Feb 6th, 6 - 9pm: ​Come & celebrate our visual artists at the fINdings Art Gallery, next door to the Warner Grand Theatre on 6th Street in San Pedro. Some of their best work will be on display for the public to view. Much of the work will be on sale with proceeds benefitting a local women's project.

Every month, on the first Thursday, the downtown galleries stay open through the evening & offer local artists the chance to display their work. There'll be food trucks & live music along the way, or there's a great choice of restaurants on 6th & 7th streets to appeal to most tastes.

Save the Date for the Huskies With Heart Backpack Initiative, which will be held on the morning of Saturday, March 21^st at the school. This year we are working with the organization, Hope in a Suitcase which serves over 3,000 Los Angeles children entering foster care.

Starting now during the holiday season, and all the way until the event,  we will be collecting the following NEW items to fill NEW backpacks that will go to middle and high school age children currently in the foster care system:

• For all items, NO BLUE OR RED COLORS
• New backpacks
• New T-shirts- cool stylish shirts for both boys and girls
• New athletic shorts for both boys and girls
• New fleece blankets
• New socks
• New boxes of colored pencils
• New journals with no wires or lines to use for journaling and art. 

This year, they are requesting QUALITY over QUANTITY, and would rather receive only 100 backpacks filled with quality items than 300 of things the kids won’t want to use.  Remember, middle and high school-age children in Foster Care are just as (perhaps more) particular as our own children.  Please pick up items that our own kids would want to wear.  Stores like Target, H & M, Forever 21, Ross, and Old Navy have stylish lower cost items to choose from. 

Please use the above list as a guideline.  Per the instructions from Hope in a Suitcase, only items from the above categories will be accepted for donation. HOWEVER, you do not need to limit your shopping to the stores listed and/or links below.  With the holidays and the end of the year sales taking place, there will be many good retail deals available that will allow for the purchase of these items at a significant discount from a variety of retail locations.

Below are some online wish lists we created on Amazon and Target for you to purchase, and all the items will be shipped directly to Debbie’s house to store for the event:

 *Please note the combo packs may have blue and red backpacks within the provided assortment. That being said, the cost savings on the bulk purchase still makes this one of our best options.  We will assess the shipments as they come in. Should a shipment be predominantly red and/or blue, we may wish to return it. We are happy to help with the return and replacement.

Any items that you purchase on your own can be brought to the school after the holidays to put in designated bins for collection in front of the Admin Bldg. and the ART.  If you have any contacts of organizations that would want to donate in bulk, please reach out to Debbie Goldberg, our event chair at dlagoldberg@mac.com.  

Thank you so much for your participation in this event.  More emails will come in the coming months on how you can do more to volunteer for this event.
