Food drive needs volunteers
“Hello everyone — Our Heart Healthy Food Drive is almost over. The Student council has done a great job and will fnish strong by collecting the donated food this Tuesday, February 15th. Next it’s the HSC’s turn. There are two ways to help: 1) We need about 15 sturdy cardboard boxes to dispense the food in. Computer Paper boxes work great for this; 2) We could use some help sorting and boxing the food. We will start at 1 pm on the cafeteria stage with the sorting by food categroy. Next we divide the sorted food between the boxes. There’s no heavy lifting and we should be finished in time to pick up your kids. e-mail sharon.langmead@sbcglobal.net with questions. THANK YOU!!”

Donors Needed! Jeopardy game, Photo printers
Two savvy Castlemont teachers have put out the call for donations using the Donors Choose website (visit Castlemont’s page (http://www NULL.donorschoose NULL.org/donors/search NULL.html?zone=402&community=12:1&school=4704)). Their project will impact over 200 students in K-2 and 5th grade. And there is no need to sell chocolates or collect stamps.

Mrs. H’s kids need printers! “Having two photo printers to share will allow me to print out photographs in minutes for counting charts, scrapbooking projects, and ELD lessons (K-2). The printers will also expose our students to technology that they have never seen before. The photo printers will save money and time and help the students learn English vocabulary.” – Donate here (http://www NULL.donorschoose NULL.org/donors/proposal NULL.html?id=481604).
