Students in the after school Garden Club at Etiwanda Colony Elementary School are growing more than just plants.
As they plant, water, and care for the garden, they are learning where their food comes from while building teamwork, responsibility, and healthy habits. The garden gives students a chance to slow down, work together, and feel proud of what they have grown. #wellnesswednesday #healthyetiwandakids

For Black History Month, Mrs. Henry’s kindergarten class at Lightfoot Elementary spent time learning about the life and accomplishments of Mae Jemison. Students read Mae Among the Stars and talked about how she followed her dreams all the way to space.
The class created their own astronaut projects and had meaningful conversations about her powerful words: “Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity.” It was inspiring to see our young learners thinking big, asking questions, and imagining all the places their own dreams could take them.
