Today we’re celebrating our amazing school bus drivers in Etiwanda.

Our drivers do so much more than get students from place to place. They create a safe, welcoming start and end to the school day, often knowing students by name, noticing the small things, and setting a positive tone for learning before students even step on campus.

Thank you for your patience, care, and commitment to student safety. We appreciate everything you do for our schools and families across the Etiwanda community.

This week, we are celebrating our school nutrition employees! Our kitchens are full of everyday heroes. From early mornings to the last lunch served, they keep students fueled and ready to learn. Thank you for the care, energy, and pride you bring to every meal.

Strong attendance, strong future. Each day in class adds up to big success for our Etiwanda students.

Mrs. Henry is giving Mrs. Stewart a high five this Friday! Mrs. Stewart works tirelessly to support students and help them succeed. She brings a smile each day and encourages kids with positivity that truly makes a difference. She’s always ready to step in and help, with a strong sense of what both students and the teacher need.

Her expertise in word work and classroom centers helps students build confidence and grow. She consistently goes above and beyond to create a positive, successful learning environment. Mrs. Stewart pours her heart into her work, and her care for students is seen every day in the classroom and across campus.

Kindergarten truly is something special! Owen and his family are so grateful for Mrs. Courtney, who made this year both magical and full of meaningful learning. She goes above and beyond, pouring everything she has into her students each and every day. Teachers like her make all the difference.

A big high five to Thomas, Anthony, and Chris, the amazing grounds team at Grapeland!

Thank you for all you do to keep the campus looking its best!

Mrs. Benitez shared a heartfelt shoutout for Mrs. Keltner, recognizing her as an incredible teacher. Her daughter had a difficult start to the year, and the growth she has made under Mrs. Keltner’s guidance has been truly extraordinary. She is continually amazed by the love and support Mrs. Keltner shows her students each day and how she goes above and beyond for every one of them. Mrs. Benitez shared that she will be forever grateful.

A heartfelt shoutout to Mrs. Cobb at John Golden Elementary for the lasting impact she continues to have on her students. She fills her classroom with hope, encouragement, and a positive spirit that stays with students long after they leave.

The Diab family shared a note Mrs. Cobb wrote that was recently found in Annabel’s room. She has kept it front and center ever since she received it, and even now, as a fifth grader, it still means so much to her. Thank you, Mrs. Cobb, for building connections that truly last.

All April long, we’re celebrating our wonderful school librarians. Their impact goes far beyond the library as they inspire reading and support Etiwanda students each and every day.

Today we’re celebrating Earth Day and Arbor Day alongside the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Students from Golden Elementary rolled up their sleeves and joined the city’s landscaping crew to plant 22 trees at Day Creek Park. It was a meaningful way for students to give back, learn about caring for their environment, and take pride in their community.

It was also great to see Superintendent Sprague and Board Member April McAllaster out there supporting students and joining in on the effort. A fun and impactful day for everyone involved!
