Upcoming Castlemont Community Fun
Ms. Prindle shares details of upcoming events at Castlemont.
Hello Castlemont Families,
We will be enjoying a variety of community events and hope that you will join us. This Friday we are holding our extremely popular Halloween Dance Fundraiser. All proceeds will go back into funding classroom materials and activities. Since we have to cap our dance attendance at the capacity of our Multi-Use room, we have families that were not able to buy tickets. I know this is disappointing. Please know that we will be holding an outdoor dance this spring-- outdoor meaning that we will not need to limit attendance.
Coming next Friday, October 28th is the Castlemont Jog-a-thon! Each grade level has a designated participation time between 8:30- 12:30. It is an INCREDIBLY positive, fun day, and we invite you to join us. Many parents have signed up to volunteer, and we still need more volunteers throughout the day, especially for 4th and 5th grade classes. Please respond to your ParentSquare message or contact Emily Ah Sing @ emahsing [at] gmail.com
In addition to the fun of participating in Jog-a-thon with friends, EVERY Castlemont student receives a free Jog-a-thon t-shirt. The shirts are funded by our Home and School Club and through the generosity of family and community sponsors. I will be announcing the student winner of the t-shirt design contest this Friday, Oct. 21 right after the morning announcements and our weekly Name that Tune contest.
In addition to the dance and Jog-a-thon, we also have our Halloween Parade on the 31st. I am excited to share that we can once again invite our parents and families to join us in viewing the parade. The parade starts at approximately 8:40. Teachers lead their classes around the blacktop area of our yard. Stand anywhere in front of a classroom area or at the edge of the field for the best viewing. We will conclude at about 9:00. We will be closing our gates for the day at approximately 9:15. Please-- no costumes with masks, weapons, or gore/blood.
Not every family wants their child to participate in the parade. Students who will not be participating will go to our school library to help prepare for our Autumn-themed door decorating contest next week.
I hope to see you at one or more of our upcoming events!
