Submissions to Costa Community Weekly News:
To submit information to the Costa Community Weekly Newsletter, all articles must be submitted to [email protected] by noon Thursday the week prior to distribution. Please keep the articles short and pointed. This weekly publication is meant to cover timely highlights. Events will be published closer to the actual event and items will be listed once (maybe twice) pending space and timeliness with the goal to keep the content fresh and vibrant. 
 
All requests should be submitted in ready-to-use Word format and should contain all the required details including correct images and links without the need for significant editing. We rely on you to check dates, grammar, and other facts, so please make sure you validate the details before submission.
 
Please do not submit your MCHS booster fundraisers to Costa Community News. Please submit those to Julie Johnson at [email protected] for inclusion on the MBX booster fundraisers page. Costa Community News and other MBUSD newsletters will pull fundraiser info from there.
