At Castelar, we love celebrating students who lead by example through kindness, responsibility, and perseverance. This week, we are proud to recognize two amazing Cardinals who make our school a better place every single day. ❤️🖤

One of our Cool Cardinals is a hardworking 4th grader who comes to school ready to learn and always gives her best effort. She asks thoughtful questions when she needs help, shows determination with her school work, and constantly lends a helping hand to both classmates and teachers. She helps simply because it is the right thing to do. Throughout this school year, she has shown tremendous growth and has become a reliable leader who demonstrates kindness and perseverance each day.

Our second Cool Cardinal is a wonderful 1st grader who consistently shows respect, responsibility, and kindness in the classroom. This student follows expectations, makes positive choices, and treats others with care. Whether working with classmates, helping others, or taking pride in learning, they set a positive example through teamwork, patience, and effort. Their actions help make Castelar a welcoming and supportive school community for everyone.

Way to shine, Cardinals! ❤️🖤

Some people walk into a building and instantly feel like part of the Castelar family. This week’s 30 Ways to Say Yay winner did exactly that.
When we needed someone to step up, he stepped in with consistency, compassion, and an incredible work ethic. The impact he has made on the students he serves this year has been remarkable, and his positive attitude shines through in everything he does.
With a smile on his face and kind words for everyone, students are always excited to see him because they know he truly cares. His dedication has made a lasting difference for both students and staff at Castelar Elementary, and we are so grateful for all he brings to our school community.
Congratulations to this week’s 30 Ways to Say Yay winner… Mr. Jerome! 🎉👏💙
