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.
