Box Tops Earnings

Box Top Earnings Congratulations to Castleberry Elementary and our PTO President, Suzie Huitt for another successful year in managing the Box Tops for Education Program. She and 2nd grade teacher, Erinn Graham attended the DFW Box Tops for Education Conference in Dallas on Tuesday, 5/21 and discovered that Castleberry Elementary is the top earning school in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. For the 2012-2013 school year, the students and staff earned $5,717! Those little 10 cent coupons really add up fast.

These funds were utilized to purchase rugs for the new building.



Fiesta Night at CE

On Thursday, May 2nd,Castleberry Elementary celebrated and promoted Cinco de Mayo and Hispanic culture in a variety of family engagement activities and events entitled “Family Fun Fiesta”. The evening began with 1stgraders singing, playing instruments, and dancing a variety of songs from the countries of Mexico and Spain.   Following the performance, Ms. Ortiz(PE Assistant) sang a traditional ballard from Mexico and introduced a group of 5th graders in costume who danced a variety of folklorico dances.  In addition, families were surprised and entertained by a group of teachers (Ms. Puente, Ms. Parks, and Ms. Clark) who danced a traditional folklorico in costume. 

               Over 800 attendees were invited to play games of Spanish bingo, learn about famous Hispanic celebrities and/or politicians presented by the 4thgraders living museum, or build a traditional symbols/artifacts of Mexico and Spain, i.e. a sombrero, a piñata, or a flag to take home as a keepsake of the event.  Attendees were able to participate in any or all of the events and enjoy snacks of nachos, pickles, ice cream, and more.

               The positive response from all the persons who attended indicates that this will be a repeat opportunity for everyone at Castleberry Elementary!
