Happy 67th Birthday to Mr. George from Windrows.
Sixty-seven years young and still making a difference every single day. Some might say 6 and 7 are pretty great numbers on their own, but together they make one amazing year to celebrate.
Thank you, Mr. George, for the steady support, positive attitude, and care you show our students. Windrows is a better place because of you. We hope your 6 + 7 celebration adds up to a day full of smiles.

Perdew Elementary was full of excitement today. The staff and administration welcomed district visitors with sweet treats and thoughtful touches that made everyone feel appreciated.
Inside the classrooms, students were busy running their own bakery as part of a hands on math lesson. Using baked goods to explore fractions, they practiced dividing items into equal parts and applying what they are learning in a way that made sense. It was engaging, interactive, and completely student focused.
A great example of how Perdew supports both its staff and its students in meaningful ways.
Meet Mrs. Engle from HIS, a true math wizard who knows how to make learning relevant and fun! In her classroom, math isn’t just about numbers; it's about real-world applications.
Recently, she challenged her students to calculate the cost of an In-N-Out burger with 100 patties! This creative approach not only engages students but also helps them see the practical side of math in everyday life. By tackling real-world problems, Mrs. Engle inspires her students to think critically and apply their skills beyond the classroom.
Let’s celebrate educators like Mrs. Engle who ignite curiosity and passion for learning!

Mrs. Smith’s 2nd grade class at Grapeland is diving into science as they learn about states of matter. From solids to liquids to gases, students are exploring how matter changes and where we see it in everyday life.
Hands-on learning like this helps our students build curiosity and a strong foundation in science.

Shout out to Mrs. Izaguirre at Golden Elementary for creating such a welcoming learning environment for her students—and for our district visitors. She even baked homemade cookies! Her students feel that warmth every day, just like everyone who stops by.
What a great turnout at Grapeland’s Donuts with Grownups, hosted by their PTA. Students loved starting the morning with a sweet treat and time spent with someone special. There is nothing better than sharing a donut and a few smiles before heading into class ready to learn.
Today, Adrian is receiving a High Five for stepping in with helping hands and kind words when a friend was hurt on the playground. Thank you, Adrian, for showing care and compassion for others at school.

Etiwanda’s outstanding band leaders recently attended the SCSBOA Conference, where they spent time learning, collaborating, and growing in their craft. They are back at our schools energized and ready to bring that excitement straight to our students.
We are also proud of our ESD students who performed in the honor group concerts. Their performances were truly fantastic and a great reflection of the talent across our district.

It’s been a week of non-stop fun at East Heritage! They went all out for spirit days, matching with their besties and rocking some seriously wild socks. We love seeing our littlest learners having so much fun together!
Are you ready to ride your e-bike safely? That starts with wearing a helmet on every ride and following traffic laws. Taking a moment to check your bike before heading out can help prevent accidents. When we all do our part, our students can ride safely and responsibly every day.

Jeannie Tavolazzi is giving a shout out to our PDPs, SSCs, coordinators, and site administrators who put in the time and effort to design impactful learning experiences for more than 700 amazing Etiwanda teachers.
Thanks to their hard work, the day was meaningful, energetic, and positive. When our educators come together to learn and grow, it directly strengthens the experience we’re able to provide for every student.

Kickin’ It with Kooyman! Students at West Heritage Elementary enjoyed time on the soccer field with Mr. Kooyman, thanks to a fun opportunity coordinated by Mrs. Vittorio. After earning PBIS points, they chose to cash them in for this experience. It was a great way to recognize positive choices and the perfect way to wrap up a week focused on kindness.
