Etiwanda students and staff honoring Patriot Day.

Etiwanda students honoring Patriot Day.

Today, Miss Tawekjian’s students at EIS took time to learn about the events of September 11, 2001. After researching the people who were directly affected by or involved in 9/11, students shared their learning with the class and presented the stories of their chosen heroes.
Through their research and presentations, students reflected on the courage, compassion, and strength shown by so many during one of our nation’s most difficult moments.

A high five from Gabriella and Tracy to Ms. Linda at Lightfoot! She is always so sweet, caring, and ready with a smile, even while helping parents through traffic in the heat. Thank you, Ms. Linda, for being such an amazing part of the Lightfoot community!

A high five to these East Heritage teachers who continue to grow their own learning! They spent time at a math conference with Kim Sutton, bringing new ideas and strategies back to support student learning. We love seeing our teachers learning right alongside their students!

A high five goes to Alex and Andy in Mrs. Smith’s class! These two Grapeland Grizzlies are growing, learning, and shining brighter every day. Keep showing that Grizzly pride, Alex and Andy!

Shoutout to Mrs. Hernandez and her VAPA students!
Students are bringing their creativity and individuality to life through a Digital Still Life project inspired by their own interests. We love seeing students use the arts to express who they are and what inspires them!

A good book can take you anywhere! Etiwanda students know there’s nothing quite like holding a book in their hands and getting lost in a story. Books can transport readers to places they’ve only dreamed of, while reminding them that they’re never alone in their feelings and experiences. As Misty Cooper reminds us, sometimes the best adventures are found between the pages.
