Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:

Dates: Monday 2/10, Wednesday 2/12, and Friday 2/14 during lunch recess and after school.
Location: Library

More information can be found on our school’s Book Fair homepage: tinyurl.com/Fair25

While you’re there, you can set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. 

When you fund an eWallet, you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called “Share the Fair.” These contributions will go directly towards providing one free book (under $7) to every student at Castlemont during the Fair.

 

We still need volunteers to make it happen! Please email me at: ahenry [at] campbellusd.org () if you would like to help out.

Happy reading!

Our annual Halloween Costume Parade will be this Thursday, October 31st from 8:30-9:00. Students will walk in a loop on our blacktop area.  We ask that visitors stand on the outside of the students circling the blacktop.  You will have numerous opportunities to see your student pass by. 

If your family chooses to participate, please send your child to school with their costume on over their clothes-- they will be removing their costumes immediately after the parade. For safety and school appropriateness, we do not permit masks, blood or "gore," or any kind of simulated weapons (including swords, guns, knives, axes, etc.)

We will have a seasonal activity in the library for all students who choose not to participate in the parade. 

We hope you can join us!
