Campbell Union School District Students Contribute to the Redesign of the Downtown Campbell Library

Students from Campbell Union School District were instrumental in the redesign of the downtown Campbell Library.

Student participants and district and community leaders pose for a photo at the 2019 Pitch Fest.

After years of collaboration and planning, the Campbell Library in downtown Campbell has reopened. Students from Campbell Union School District (CUSD) were part of the original collaboration team that contributed to the planning. 

In the 2018-19 school year, eight teams of CUSD students from five elementary schools participated in Pitch Fest.  This was an opportunity for students to work with their teachers, Campbell librarians and elected officials as they presented their design challenge ideas for the renovation of the Campbell Library.

Each of the teams had five minutes to present their ideas to the panel that included two Campbell librarians, Superintendent Shelly Viramontez, and former Trustee Cohen. Through the engineering and design thinking process, the library  gathered student input and ideas that would help them in the redesign of their services, programming, and spaces to improve the library experience. Pitch Fest was a culminating event to CUSD’s annual Design Challenge where students and community came together to design real world solutions in their  community.

The student pitch presentations included:

  • Soundproof Castle (noise engineering) from Capri Elementary School
  • Ear Covering Chair (noise engineering) from Castlemont Elementary School
  • Better Advertising and Transportation (design thinking) from Rosemary Elementary School
  • Improvements for the Teen Zone (design thinking) from Sherman Oaks Dual Immersion School
  • Re-shelving Robot (design thinking) from Sherman Oaks Dual Immersion School
  • Reading Cubicles (design thinking) from Village School
  • An Easy Way to Find a Book (design thinking) from Village School
  • A Bookworm’s GPS (design thinking) from Village School

Nichole King, Community Librarian at the Campbell Library, noted that patrons can see elements of the students’ ideas in the library’s redesign including noise canceling components, a castle in the children’s area, and cozy reading areas. 

All CUSD students have a library card, so go check out the new library and check out a book or two.

The Campbell Library is located at 77 Harrison Avenue in Campbell and is part of the Santa Clara County Library District - a proud CUSD partner.

After 30 Years of CUSD Service, Superintendent Viramontez Announces Retirement

In a community letter, Dr. Viramontez announces her retirement.

Banner photo with students from the 1960's Cherry Lane Elementary, CUSD logo and Dr. Viramontez headshot

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

After 30 years of service and learning in this district, I am writing to share that I have decided to retire at the conclusion of this school year.

My history here runs deep. As a student at Cherry Lane Elementary (now CSI) and Hamilton Elementary (now Home Depot), I never could have imagined that my path would lead me back to this district—first as a substitute teacher, then through the ranks of teaching, site leadership, department administration, and finally as your Superintendent. I have truly enjoyed every phase of this journey; each role has been a gift.

The past few years have brought changes for several of my loved ones that have caused me to reflect deeply on the fact that time is never guaranteed. This realization has led me to prioritize being present for those who mean the most to me. While I will always be available for a chat or a cup of coffee with my colleagues, I am looking forward to the next chapter. Joe and I are particularly excited to travel more—especially during those midweek windows when flights are cheaper!

The Governing Board is fully committed to ensuring continuous, stable leadership for the district and will announce the transition plan in the near future. My priority over the coming months is to ensure a seamless transition so that the incredible momentum we’ve built together continues without interruption.

I am immensely proud of the people and the work in this district. You make this a world-class place to learn and an inspiring place to work. It has been the honor of a lifetime to work alongside you.

With deep appreciation,

Shelly
