Castlemont celebrated our third annual Dia de los Niños today with our students and staff. Students enjoyed ice creams and visiting with Mickey, Minnie, and other characters out on our playground. A big thank you to our ELAC parent volunteers for proposing the observation of this special day three years ago.

We will be honoring our former Castlemont dragon warriors, Koa & Ezra, by joining the KoaStrong Rise Up 4 Kids campaign to help raise money and awareness for the Koastrong organization.
Our School Spirit Day (wear gold) will be on Monday, May 5th (Koa's bday), and our afterschool Rise Up for Kids Rally and Treats Sale will be from 2:30-3:30 in the courtyard. Here's an updated flyer.
KoaStrong’s Rise Up for Kids campaign is a call to action. It’s about standing for children’s health, shining a light on the rising rates of childhood cancer, and saying: enough is enough.
We need prevention, early detection, and bold awareness — and it starts with kids, families, and schools like Castlemont. Join us on May 5th to rise up! Wear gold, and support our Rise Up For Kids Rally and Treats Sale after school from 2:30-3:30 in the courtyard. All proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit the Koastrong organization.
