Hands on Art
RUHS PTSA proudly sponsors South Bay Hands on Art at Redondo Union High School
Thanks to your RUHS PTSA Memberships and Sea Hawk Club Donations, we can offer five different hands-on art projects to RUHS students throughout the year.
Be a RUHS PTSA Hands on Art Volunteer
We're always looking for volunteers interested in helping out — either as a Docent (teaching students & attending lesson training) or a Helper (passes out supplies, assists in clean up and set up, etc) during every project. Lessons are taught during the school day with minimal time commitment Tuesday-Friday.
