MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL LAMBERT
Dear Mariano Castro Parents,
Great news! In partnership with Community Services Agency (CSA) of Mountain View and Second Harvest Food Bank, at our school we will be distributing bags with some basic food items.
The food is free; all you need to do is fill out a simple form available at the event, indicating that you qualify.
The Thursday before the break we distributed 100 bags of food to Castro and Mistral families! This week we hope to give out 150 bags of food.
These food distribution days will be approximately every other week and you are welcome to come every time.
We will be in Castro Room 9, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. this Thursday, March 2nd. See you there!
Theresa Lambert
