CASTLE HILLS ELEMENTARY VANDALISM

Over the last few months Castle Hills Elementary has endured some vandalism and it is important that as a community we are staying vigilant and reporting any suspicious activity to the authorities. There have been two separate break-ins, parking lots spray painted, dumpster fire, damage to playground canopy, and most recently a sign at the new track was stolen. The CHE PTA and the Castle Hills Schools Foundation, through your donations, provided many of these items. Lewisville PD non-emergency number is 972.219.3600. photo courtesy of Carly Dunson
