Castlio Elementary is a community of generous families.  This week Student Council is selling turkey feathers for .50 each.  Each classroom has a featherless turkey until the students purchase turkey feathers to clothe the class turkey.  It's a fun event for the kids to see their class turkey grow exponentially throughout the week with the feathers they have purchased.  The best part of this event is the money-raised purchases Christmas gifts for needy children through the Toys for Tots program. 

Announcements this week:

The third grade students will switch their Spectra day with the fifth graders this week.  The fifth grade students have a special event-taking place on Tuesday; therefore we changed days to accommodate their event.  

All students have library on Wednesday.

The second graders will have Spectra on Thursday.

Finally, the last week of November is short to allow celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday.  There will be no school on November 27th, 28th or 29th.  Hopefully, you will have a time of celebration with family and friends.
