The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library has joined Royal High School to set up a leadership program. By meeting certain requirements you can earn a Ronald Reagan Presidential seal stamp on your diploma upon graduation. My nephew earned it in 2018.

About the CSI program


Some of you might remember when my daughter was 10yo, she was fighting for her life with Septic Arthritis at LA County USC Medical Center.

The thread about her fight

She has been wanting to do something for the Pediatric Unit since then, and the CSI program allows her to earn something truly special while giving back.

She is collecting stuffed animals to donate to the Pediatric Unit to comfort the kids that are receiving treatments. This took some time to get approved not only through the school but through the hospital as the hospital has requirements for students to do things like this and we are down to the wire now.

This is what my daughter had my wife post on FB

Friends and family -
I wanted to share with everyone Krystal's Senior CSI Project.
-This message is from Krystal.- Starting last Friday, five boxes have been placed around Royal High School's campus. The goal is to have these boxes filled with new stuffed animals to deliver to LA General Medical Center, formerly known as County USC. In 2017, their pediatric unit saved my life and for years I've wanted to give back to them. So for my CSI project, that is exactly what I'm doing. There is an Amazon wishlist to order online, for those who cannot drop off new stuffed animals on campus or at my house. My goal is for Tyler and I to drop them off sometime at the end of May. Thank you

Amazon wish list link. By ordering from this link the stuffed animals will automatically be delivered to our house. Her goal is at least 200 stuffed animals, she is at 37.


Thank you RDP family

I will bump this from time to time

That's really, really cool. None of my pediatric issues were there...Phoenix Children's has been where I've been to see the work of pediatric nurses and doctors. Me personally though, as an adult spent over a month, mostly in ICU, in County/USC. I can't thank them enough for giving me my life and legs back.

What your daughter is doing is what would best be described as "honorable" I think. Hopefully, she in turn is rewarded for her work, to reward a place that helped her.

They were truly amazing. If you have time read the thread, they weren't screwing around.

Just finished it...wow, zero to mach5 in a day. So great that she was able to make it through that.
The last post in that thread was made the day I joined the ranks as an inmate here...

Well, it might be a duplicate, but the wife liked the pink elephant.

Hope she makes her goal, so good of her.

Unfortunately because they are going to kids that may have compromised immune systems they require them to be new

I picked out three, but it said two were unable to ship! So I sent 2 of the one that did get approved. Should be there tomorrow. 👍🏼

Two penguins inbound should be there tomorrow👍🏻

We have a hard rule in our house that we started a few years ago. For every new stuffed animal that enters, 3 must be donated to kids who are less fortunate. It actually works really well.

It's difficult to give away stuffed animals and the like. I must have 30+ Pillow Pets? in bags up in the rafters and in my daughters storage shed. New is best.

Three are ordered.

Your daughter is an awesome young lady @4Waters.

Just ordered a couple. They are scheduled to be delivered to Krystal tomorrow. Excellent project. I once spent many weeks at LA County General when I was only 1 year old.
