Our Thanks

We extremely grateful for the help of the many individuals who volunteered their time today to make Groovin’ in the Grove a success. We especially thank the music directors of Woodside High School and Sequoia High School, Bill Tolles and Jane Woodman, for their personal support and that of their students and music booster clubs; Vivian Euzent, Carol McNamara, Alice Nordquist, and Stephanie Watkins, our RCSD music teachers; and Don Diaz, RCSD facilities manager. Last, but not least, we thank David Reilly, Woodside High School principal, who beyond emceeing for the evening concert, has given his own time, energy and ideas to ensuring that instrumental music remains alive in our Redwood City schools.
