Hi all,

Sharing a note that I received from Mrs. Castro this morning. If you feel inclined to help, that would be great. If you have any questions, feel free to reply to me directly or text me at 832-661-1282. 

Jonathan M., a student in our homeroom class, lost his mother last week. Mrs. Castro is getting together a card and some other stuff to share with his family during their time of grieving. I know it’s last minute, but if you're comfortable, you can cash app her and she will put anything you give towards some of the gift cards she is going to purchase for his family.

She will be purchasing after school tomorrow and her cash app is $faithrobynlove11.

Thank you all in advance. 

Hi Parents,

Apologies for the last-minute communication about this, but I wanted to share an idea for a holiday gift for Mrs. Castro. We’d love to provide her with a $150 Amazon gift card from the class, along with a small gift bag of her favorite snacks and treats.

If you’d like to contribute toward the gift card, it would be greatly appreciated! However, if you’re unable to, no worries at all—Azza and I are happy to cover it on behalf of the class. If the contributions exceed $150, we’ll increase the value of the gift card accordingly.

I plan to purchase the items Thursday evening and present everything to Mrs. Castro on Friday. Please let me know if you’d like to chip in! You can contact me via email (melodyswarren@gmail.com and/or by text 832-661-1282).

Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our wonderful teacher!

Best regards,
