I, Brielle Alvarez, will to Keira Griffiths my spirit and love for Redwood and my energy and coffee addiction because it’s a necessity for ASB; to always wear the Superman shirt and talk upon Redwood with pride. With this, you can take Redwood back to the “old Redwood” and it will lead you to success. I’ll miss you! To Savannah Torres, my ability to make any situation a positive one. Being ASB President takes a lot of responsibility and creativity. With the ability to make a situation positive, or you know what to do without help, you can be an ASB President that will show these traits.

I know you can easily make any poster or idea come to life, and I trust you to make sure everything on Redwood’s campus is perfect and pretty. Love you, girl!

I, Kadence Hutchings, will to Mr. Coon my welding skills, belief in myself, patience for freshmen, and ability to laugh and appreciate all the times in the shop (especially those involving Diego) because he’s what teachers should be. I will forever remember Ag, the farm, and the friendships. 

I, Elise Hyde, will to my beautiful sister, Audrey Hyde, my outgoing and social personality, to Jenna Mitchell, my athleticism and goofiness to say “ZONT” and animal voices while she plays tennis, to Jason Vieira, my giant, bigfoot height so no one can see his cute little bald spot, to Nick Miller, my silliness and youth for the rest of his teaching years, to Morgan and Devyn Castenada, my giant hands for blocking and long arms to slam many volleyballs on the opponents’ heads, and to Natalie McDonnell, my strong, speed sonic kicks so the tradition of nailing Olivia Saenz and Shelby Somavia in the head, legs, and stomach lives on.
