As a local business owner and resident of Castro Valley I am a strong believer in the S.O.S. program being driven by the Castro Valley Community. As you know this program will benefit the Castro Valley School District and their programs and will help secure the future education opportunities for our children.

It’s important that we put our children first. Our children are the future, the future to a better nation.

Vibrant communities are no accident, they are the product of individual contributions to our physical and social infrastructure. One critical piece of that infrastructure is our local schools. It is impressive to see that when they are threatened by outside forces, Save Our Schools Castro Valley! emerges to rally us, engage us and ask each of us to step up to the plate and maintain something so critical to our quality of life. I support your efforts.

We’ve got a long hard road ahead of us and the efforts of this organization can only help to move us in the right direction. Let’s hope the community greets them with open arms and sponsorships at whatever level they are capable.
