Mrs. Ford from Perdew Elementary is receiving a high five today from the Yelin family. They love that Mrs. Ford, rain or shine, greets the students every morning with a big smile, which sets the stage for a great day of learning. We are certain Perdew's community agrees that Mrs. Ford is amazing.

From eating green eggs and ham to dressing up as a favorite literacy character, our Etiwanda students had a great time during their Read Across America activities. At Golden Elementary, we even had community volunteers from the Arrowheart Foundation read to some of our students.

Happy Read Across America Day! 

Today, we're giving a high five to the members of SEAC, a student advisory group. They have met with a district advisor a few times this school year to give feedback on programs at their school sites. Throughout the meetings, they are engaged, kind, and responsible.

Students in Mrs. White's 4th grade class at Perdew Elementary engaged in the "Save Fred" STEM Challenge. They used engineering, critical thinking, reasoning skills, and a whole bunch of collaborative teamwork to save Fred the gummy worm, who had fallen out of his boat and needed to get into his life-preserving ring. Way to go, Perdew Pioneers!

We had a tremendous turnout at last night's district spelling bee. Congratulations to all of our Etiwanda students who participated in this event and will move on to the county level. #EtiwandaExcellence
