What a wonderful way to start the week—Happy Monday! Colony Elementary’s PTA recently hosted Grandparents Day, welcoming over 250 grandparents to celebrate with their students. Guests enjoyed pastries and coffee, served by the amazing PTA, and many stayed to participate in morning announcements and flag. It was heartwarming to see the love and joy shared between grandparents and their grandkids!


Reminder: There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 6. All school offices will also be closed.


Protect your brain—ride your e-bike safely! Look for helmets with an NTA-8776 rating. These helmets offer better protection at higher speeds and cover more of your head. If your e-bike can go over 28 mph, consider a light motorcycle helmet for proper protection. Let’s keep our Etiwanda students safe!


High-Five Friday to Mr. Tavolazzi for the care and support he shows students and staff at Caryn Elementary. An extra high-five as the school celebrated his birthday this week!


High Five to siblings Moses and Nevaeh from Lightfoot Elementary for both earning Student of the Month on the same day! Their proud parents shared how thankful they are to be a family that supports one another in doing their best, being a friend to all, and overcoming challenges.


This week we celebrated our incredible custodial and maintenance teams! They do so much to keep our schools running smoothly and create a safe, clean environment for our students. Next time you see one of our amazing custodians or maintenance staff, be sure to thank them—we truly couldn’t do it without them!


High five to Navya, an 8th grader at DCIS, for her outstanding presentation on mental health initiatives at the Whole Child Collaborative, part of Healthy RC’s focus on supporting middle school students’ mental health. Navya shared her ideas with community leaders and peers, showing incredible leadership and dedication to making a positive impact. What a role model she is for her classmates!


Friday Shoutout! Windrows and their students are honoring Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. Thank you for raising awareness and showing support for this important cause!


High Five Friday! Ms. Coulter's 3rd grade class at Lightfoot is celebrating the Spirit Trophy! Way to show that Leopard Pride—way to go, students!


We know there’s someone you’d like to give a high five to—a student, teacher, or administrator who went above and beyond this week! Email a photo and a brief description to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org and we’ll share them tomorrow. Please send your submissions before 9 AM on Friday.


What a treat it was for Colony’s preschool class to have two Etiwanda parents who work in the Disney Animation Department visit and share about their careers—one as a sculptor and the other as an illustrator. The preschoolers were fascinated watching an artist at work and loved learning about the creative process.


DWL Rangers are thriving in their VAPA classes! Students are exploring the exciting world of digital art, experimenting with vibrant designs, and diving into intuitive line painting. Creativity is flowing, skills are growing, and every class is a chance to express themselves in new and inspiring ways!
