Dear Caleb Community,
What an amazing spring fiesta auction we had this year!
It was a wildly successful event, and we are so overwhelmed by your generosity. PTSO raised almost $90,000 to continue enhancing our incredible school and support our students, teachers, and community succeed. We also met our fund-a-need goal!!
We’d like to give thanks to all our amazing sponsors this year!
Our Presenting Sponsor- Chris Wood of Dreyer Babich Buccola Wood and Campora, our Venue donor Tommy and Candi Schurkamp with Urjiah Fabor’s Ultimate Fitness, Bar Sponsor- Elise Brown with Coldwell Banker and Teacher Sponsor- Libby Woolford of The Woolford Group, Diamond Sponsors- Skye Ferrera of The Ferrera Law Firm, Daniel Nardinelli of Inside Sacramento, Tom Nolan with Mercy Radiology Group, Gold Sponsors - Tom Leonard Coldwell Banker and, Nate Grow of Grow Properties.
We also had several in kind sponsors who helped donate products or services to make the event happen: Porchlight Brewing, Sac City Brews, Sac Yard Community Tap House for the beer donations, Paul Munoz with eSt Cru Wine for wine donations, Chad Brown with Modified Syrups for making all those amazing margaritas, Shady Lady Saloon, DJ Jesse James with Meraki Logic, Total Wrestling Federation, and Urban Lilli Plant Boutique.
A HUGE shout to all the parents and businesses who generously donated items for our silent and live auctions.
Lastly, we’d like to give a special thank you to the team that helped make this event possible, our auction committee, all our volunteers and classroom parents who worked so hard over the last months, weeks, and days, making this event possible.

Updated Covid Guidelines- Please access the link and information below
Updated Guidance- Click here
Screen for Symptoms and Stay Home When Sick
Staff and students must self-screen for symptoms at home daily. If a person is sick or exhibits any symptoms of COVID-19, they may not come to school and must follow the Stay Home Sick and Return Guidance.
Symptoms of illness include fever (100.4 or higher) or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea per CDC guidelines.
Individuals may return to school when:
5 days have passed, at least 24 hours fever free without the use of fever-reducing medications and other symptoms are improving.
OR
Present a negative COVID-19 test and at least 24 hours has passed since a fever has resolved without the use of fever-reducing medications free and other symptoms are improving.
OR
Present a note from a healthcare provider that confirms that current symptoms are from a chronic condition or other disease process.
Allergies
Allergy symptoms are the same as early COVID-19 symptoms. Many people who test positive for Covid remark, “I just thought it was my allergies.” If a person has new or worsening allergy symptoms they should test to rule out COVID-19. If the test is negative and symptoms improve they can come to work or school.
