Summer Learning:  June 1 – July 31

Summertime is just around the corner and that means Summer Learning will be starting at San José Public Library locations! It’s time to grab a book (or several), read, share your story, and win prizes! Pre-readers (ages 0-5 y.o.) will receive a free book after reading four books and win a second free book upon completing the program by reading a total of eight books. All other age groups win a book after reading for four hours and win a second book by completing the program by reading a total of eight hours. In addition to reading during the summer, families can partipate in our Graphic Novel Making Contest.

Many free activities are also available at all San José library locations throughout the summer months, providing ample opportunities for fun and learning. For more information, visit sjpl.org/summer, sign up for our online newsletter (www.sjpl.org/updates), our events calendar (http://events.sjpl.org/calendar  ) and/or contact your neighborhood library (find your nearest library here).

Encourage reading at home with free, gently used books from the school library.

Every library refreshes its stock and school libraries are no exception. That was especially true when transforming the former Campbell Middle School library into one for Campbell School of Innovation's elementary students. Some non-fiction books were too old or out of date for use in today's classrooms. Some are too worn, and some are duplicates of fiction titles that are no longer used. 

We recognize that these books still have some value to others outside of our schools, so we are making them available to our own community before sending the remaining books to various charities.

Our Book Give-Away event is free of charge and open to ALL of our Campbell Union School District families and employees.

Saturday, June 1, 2019 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
240 Harrison Ave., Campbell

A day of positive achievements sponsored by Kiwanis

Forest Hill Elementary and Rolling Hills Middle school students were among the more than 900 children with special needs who participated in this year’s Kiwanis Special Games event at West Valley College. There were 18 events laid out within the college stadium, covering a wide range of skill levels.  Arriving groups were formally and officially greeted as they participated in an opening procession. They proceeded to their events, where they were coached and then recognized with an awards ceremony after each contest.

With the help of volunteers, the student athletes from our schools schools experienced a day of positive achievements.

The Kiwanis Special Games were created to address the physical and emotional needs of the substantial number of extremely challenged children in the schools of our region. The Games were first organized in 1979 by two Adaptive PE teachers and Los Altos Kiwanian Walter Chronert. Over the years, the Games flourished from modest beginnings to the regional event they are today.

Please join us in celebrating some key members of our community. On Thursday, May 23rd at 6:00 pm at Castlemont School, we will be honoring our Teacher of the Year Mrs. LaValle, our Classified Employees of the Year Ms. Kellie Johnson and Maribel Mercado and our PTA President as our Volunteer of the Year Mrs. Emmy Gregory-Bryson. We appreciate their dedication to Forest Hill and our students.
