Message from the Fundraising Team

Updated Mon, Nov 7th
Ghost, Jacalanter on school stage with a note. "Thanks for being Spooktacular!"

Hello Castlemont Families,

The Castlemont teachers would like to send out their appreciation to our entire community for supporting our teacher sponsored fundraising event, The Halloween Dance, this past Friday.  It was so nice to bring back this school event and to see so many families socializing and having fun together, making our school community a special place to be.  We'd also like to recognize the importance of supporting local businesses, and thank the Pizza Guys and Happy Donuts for their generous donations and discounts.  Thank you to the families that donated water and soda for our event as well.  We raised a profit of a little over $4000 which will all go back directly to classrooms; funding supplies, activities, and resources to support students' academic and social emotional learning.  

We realize that there were many students that were not able to attend because of the limited space. We hope to have events such as this in the future so everyone is able to participate.

If you purchased Halloween Dance Photos, they were distributed Monday, Oct. 24th to classroom teachers to send home. If you would like a digital copy of them emailed to you, please reach out to Ms. Chong at jchong [at] campbellusd.org, stating your child's name and teacher's name in your request. Thanks!
Warm Regards, 
Fundraising Team

Hola familias de Castlemont,

Los maestros de Castlemont quisieran enviar su agradecimiento a toda nuestra comunidad por apoyar nuestro evento de recaudación de fondos patrocinado por maestros, The Halloween Dance, el viernes pasado. Fue muy agradable traer de vuelta este evento escolar y ver a tantas familias socializando y divirtiéndose juntas, haciendo de nuestra comunidad escolar un lugar especial para estar. También nos gustaría reconocer la importancia de apoyar a las empresas locales y agradecer a Pizza Guys y Happy Donuts por sus generosas donaciones y descuentos. Gracias también a las familias que donaron agua y refrescos para nuestro evento. Recaudamos una ganancia de un poco más de $4000 que irá directamente a las aulas; suministros de financiación, actividades y recursos para apoyar el aprendizaje académico y socioemocional de los estudiantes.

Sabemos que hubo muchos estudiantes que no pudieron asistir debido al espacio limitado. Esperamos tener eventos como este en el futuro para que todos puedan participar.

Si compró fotos de bailes de Halloween, se distribuyeron el lunes 24 de octubre a los maestros de clase para que las envíen a casa. Si desea que le enviemos una copia digital por correo electrónico, comuníquese con la Sra. Chong en jchong [at] campbellusd.org, indicando el nombre de su hijo y el nombre del maestro en su solicitud. ¡Gracias!

Un cordial saludo,
Equipo de recaudación de fondos
