This week is the National Great Kindness Challenge, and many of our schools are celebrating in meaningful ways. We would love to highlight our Etiwanda students and the kindness they show classmates, staff, and their families.
If you have a student who goes above and beyond to show kindness, this week or anytime, please send a photo and a brief description to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org
. We look forward to showcasing their positive impact all week long.

Leadership in action! 💛
Our student body leaders joined Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Ullom this morning to greet families with music, cheers, and warm welcomes. Honking cars and happy energy made arrival extra special today!

🚲🔥 Today’s PTA-sponsored BMX assembly was a huge hit!
Students learned powerful lessons about growth mindset—working hard, trying again, and never giving up no matter the challenge. Big thanks to our amazing PTA for making it happen! 💙










So many great things have been happening across our Etiwanda schools this week. Is there a student, staff member, or volunteer who deserves a High Five? We would love to celebrate them. Email a photo and a short description to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org by 9 a.m. Friday, and the district will feature them on social media to share the celebration with our community. Let’s keep shining a light on the people who make our schools special.

✨ STEAM Night was a HUGE success! ✨
We welcomed over 50 students, along with siblings, parents, and grandparents, for an evening full of creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning. It was amazing to see our Falcon Ridge community learning and building together. Thank you to everyone who joined us—what a night! 🧠⚙️💡

Children remember time spent together, not time spent on a screen. Simple moments—reading a book, cooking dinner, or walking the dog—build stronger connections than any app ever could. #HealthyEtiwandaKids

Student voices. Student leadership. ⭐ Our Student Body leads our weekly Marvelous Monday announcements from Dr. Wilbert’s office—Proud moments!





💻🌟 At Falcon Ridge Elementary, we empower students to think critically and lead with creativity. During Hour of Code/AI this week, our Foxes learned how computer science shapes art, fashion, music, and the world around them. The innovators of tomorrow are right here!





✨🎅 Nothing sweeter than seeing our Foxes light up with holiday joy! Thank you to our incredible PTA for making Cookies with Santa such a special memory for all our students. ❤️🍪










Screens aren’t the enemy, but they shouldn’t take center stage. Being present with our children helps them feel seen, heard, and valued. #HealthyEtiwandaKids

Our 2nd graders loved exploring nature today at the Mary Vagle Nature Center! Hands-on learning, fresh air, and lots of curiosity. 🍃🚌✨








Holiday joy and staff laughter filled the room today during our Left–Right game. Moments like these remind us how special our Falcon Ridge family truly is. 🎄✨





At school and at home, we’re helping students find balance between digital learning and real-world experiences. Time offline helps kids connect, reflect, and grow. #WellnessWednesday #HealthyEtiwandaKids

Show up, shine bright! Consistent attendance helps Etiwanda students build good habits and reach their goals.

Next week is our Thanksgiving break, and there will be no school. We’ll be sharing classroom Thanksgiving activities all week and would love to include your family moments too. Capture any fun times over the break and send them to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org
to share with our community.
