Shoutout to Mrs. Lara, our amazing Assistant Principal at Golden Elementary, for rocking the spirit on Ugly Sweater Day! The Golden Stars love seeing their leaders join in the fun and spread holiday cheer. Way to shine, Mrs. Lara!

High Five to Mrs. Ramirez and the 3rd Grade classes. Perdew Elementary is incredibly proud of Mrs. Ramirez and the entire 3rd grade for their amazing effort in supporting Herobox.org! Through their hard work and generosity, they collected items to build care boxes for deployed service members who will be away from their families this holiday season. This meaningful service project is sure to bring smiles and gratitude to those who receive the boxes. Great job, 3rd grade! You’ve made a difference!

What an awesome day of basketball for our intermediate schools! Here are a few snapshots from the exciting EIS vs. SIS girls' game—the packed house of fans brought the energy! If you have photos to share, send them to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org, and we’ll post them for everyone to enjoy. Don’t forget to check out the schools' Athletics page for the full schedule and past scores. Let’s keep cheering on our teams!

The Escobar family is sending a high five to Mrs. Jenny today! Mrs. Jenny goes above and beyond in her safety role—ensuring all doors are locked and secure. She also makes sure they are carefully closed behind each parent or student as they leave. Additionally, she keeps a watchful eye, ensuring students safely cross the lower lot. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed, Mrs. Jenny!

Our first high five today goes out to Natalie Petit! A big congratulations to Natalie for being awarded the Beverly Brennan Memorial Grant from the Mt. Baldy Retired Teacher's Association! Thank you for your unwavering dedication and for going above and beyond to support the students at East Heritage Elementary.

Summit Intermediate's band concert was a night to remember! Under the direction of Mr. Peske, our talented 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students delivered spectacular performances. Families were all smiles, soaking in the amazing music and proud moments.

Is there a student, teacher, or community member who deserves a big high five for helping our Etiwanda community thrive and supporting the success of our students? We’d love to celebrate them! Send your nomination, along with a photo and the reason why, to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org by 9 AM this Friday to be considered. Let’s shine a spotlight on those making a difference!

Afterschool Fun at Perdew! Students in afterschool childcare at Perdew are diving into weekly STEAM projects, exploring everything from building to music to creating! They’re not only learning new skills but also having so much fun along the way. Way to go, future innovators!

What an unforgettable evening! Tonight, the Etiwanda Intermediate community came together for a night filled with talent, hard work, and incredible support. A special highlight was a solo performance from our very own Mr. Arretche—what a treat! Our students gave it their all, and the families showed up in full force, packing the house with love and energy. Huge thanks to Mr. Whitehead’s family for lending a helping hand and even serving dinner backstage to our performers—talk about teamwork! From the smiles and snapshots, it’s clear this was truly a night to remember.

STEAM in the Classroom at Etiwanda Intermediate! Mrs. Gooden’s class took creativity to the next level with their project: designing magazine covers that reflect who they are as 2024-25 students. They even learned how to create their very own QR codes to make their covers interactive. Check out these innovative and self-reflective projects that showcase our students’ talents and aspirations!

Some of our Instruction team members kicked off the holiday season by spreading cheer at the Children's Fund! They gathered, unpacked, and organized gifts, supporting the organization's mission to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children across San Bernardino County. This year marks the 36th Annual Toy Drive—a wonderful tradition of giving back and bringing joy to children in need.

Student Success Stories at Terra Vista Elementary! Mr. Ramirez’s TK class is proudly displaying their amazing writing and illustrations for the Frogstreet theme, “My Friends.” These talented students have been working hard to complete their projects for this theme, showcasing their creativity and progress.
