Castro Valley High School Home

Season of Service, Period of Peace (SOSPOP) is a ten-week period from Martin Luther King Day in January through Cesar Chavez Day at the end of March where students engage in non-violence/peace oriented service projects. The idea behind the Season of Service is that students need the opportunity to take responsibility for the culture and climate of their school campus and take a stand for the lives that they want to live. Service projects emphasize a number of issues of non-violence and peace from envisioning a more peaceful school to addressing issues such as bullying, homophobia, hate speech and gang violence.

Thousands of public education professionals and supporters took part in the East Bay Coalition for full Funding rally last Saturday, an event that sent a loud and clear message to Sacramento: Invest in our future by increasing funding to our public schools. Castro Valley teachers, support staff, board members and many other elected officials were joined by students, parents and administrators at Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland. Their peaceful demonstration carried the united message that our State must be urged to fully fund public education.
