Embracing Our Diverse Winter Traditions

The winter holidays offer an amazing opportunity to explore diversity, traditions, and acceptance.

The winter season is a tapestry woven with traditions from around the globe. In Campbell Union School District, we encourage students to share the unique ways their families mark this special time, fostering an environment of respect, understanding, and curiosity.

  • Global Festivities: Beyond familiar celebrations, our students teach us about the significance of holidays like Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights; Kwanzaa, which celebrates African-American heritage and community principles; Día de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings' Day) in many Latin American cultures; and festivals like Bodhi Day in Buddhism.
  • Learning Through Sharing: Classroom activities, cultural exhibits, and school-wide events provide platforms for students to discuss the history, customs, and symbolic importance of these different holidays. This shared learning deepens empathy and strengthens the bond among our student body.
  • The Power of Inclusion: By acknowledging and celebrating these diverse traditions, we send a clear message: every student's background is valued and integral to the fabric of our district.

We invite all members of our school community to participate fully in the spirit of this season:

  • Share Your Story: Speak with your child’s teacher about sharing a simple, appropriate aspect of your family's winter tradition with the class.
  • Attend School Events: Check your school's calendar and join us for the winter performances and gatherings. Your presence is the best gift!
  • Focus on Joy: Take a moment to pause, reflect, and consciously create a happy memory with your children this winter. These are the threads that build a strong family and a unified community.

We know that this time of year is a busy one and often involves family engagements and travel. While we encourage you to make the most of family time, it is also important that students are maximizing their instructional time. Please plan your travels around the planned winter break. 

The winter break is also an opportunity to visit your local library, museums, and parks. Learning can continue in conversations in the car, at the dinner table, and while running errands. Together, let's continue to illuminate our students’ lives with celebration, acceptance, and the beautiful memories we create side-by-side.

Showing Our Appreciation: Cultivating Gratitude in CUSD

November is a month a gratitude practice in CUSD. Establishing a gratitude practice leans in directly to our District's core values.

We know that life can be hectic and messy; school is no exception. With the bustle of lessons being taught, friendships being formed, and futures being shaped, it's easy to focus on the next goal or the immediate challenge. But sometimes, the most important lesson we can learn is to pause and give thanks. Gratitude isn't just a fleeting feeling; it's a foundational value that strengthens our schools, enriches our lives, and empowers our entire community.

Acknowledging Our Shared Foundation: We Are Learners

At the heart of our mission is the value that we are learners. We recognize that learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. Every challenge is a lesson, and every success is a chance to grow. This spirit of continuous learning is fostered by a deep sense of gratitude for those who guide and support the process.

We are grateful for our dedicated staff—our teachers, administrators, and support personnel—who commit themselves daily to helping students reach their highest potential. Your innovation in the classroom, your tireless effort, and your commitment to every student's potential make all the difference. We are learning alongside you, and for that, we thank you.

Strengthening Our Bonds: We Are Collaborators

Our success is built on teamwork. Our core value of being collaborators highlights the essential partnerships that create a thriving educational environment. We are thankful for the incredible synergy that exists between all members of our district family.

We extend immense gratitude to our students, who are not only the reason for our work but also active collaborators in their education. Your curiosity, your energy, and your willingness to work together in groups and teams are inspiring.

To our families, your role as co-educators is invaluable. Your partnership in supporting learning at home, communicating with our schools, and volunteering your time is the foundation of a strong, collaborative system. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for being such active participants in their growth.

Impacting Our World: We Are Community Builders

The commitment to being community builders means recognizing that our schools are integral parts of the larger world around us. This is where the power of community partnerships truly shines.

We are deeply grateful for the businesses, local organizations, non-profits, higher education institutes, and countless volunteers who invest their time, resources, and expertise into our schools. These partnerships provide invaluable mentorship, real-world learning opportunities, and essential support programs. These partners are the visible hands of a caring community, and we are grateful for their commitment to building a brighter future alongside us.

The Ripple Effect of Thanks

When we intentionally practice gratitude, it creates a powerful ripple effect. It enhances well-being for students and staff, fosters a more positive school climate, and strengthens the ties that bind us together.

As we move through this academic year, let us all take a moment—students, staff, families, and community partners—to recognize and appreciate the unique role each of us plays. Gratitude is not just about what we receive; it's about acknowledging the effort, commitment, and kindness that surrounds us every day.

Thank you. Your dedication allows our district to live out its core values, ensuring every student has the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow into a strong community builder.

Last week, we had our first "Walk to School" Day to commemorate Ruby Bridges. She was the first African American student to attend an all-white school at the age of 6 years old. During this time, our world ridiculed her as she walked into the school. Thanks to her bravery, all students are how allowed to go to school and access an equal education! Thank you to all of the families who joined us!
