A wonderful morning to recognize our amazing volunteers. Thank you all so much for everything you do for our Rangers!! Whether it's in the classroom, in PTO, School Site Council, or something else, you all make DWL such a special place to be!!

On Friday, members from the ESD Board and Cabinet came to recognize some of our amazing staff for their years of service to Etiwanda School District. They were all cheered on by their students. We are so lucky to have such hard working, dedicated, and passionate educators at DWL!! Thank you for everything you do for your students!!

Another "Long BINGO" winner!! This time, Mrs. Moss's 2nd grade class won a donut party!!

During the past couple weeks of state testing, the whole school has been playing "Long Bingo!" Every morning during announcements, Mrs. Waters calls out two Bingo numbers, and the first couple classes to call to the office with a BINGO gets prizes...today our first winners called- from CHILDCARE!! They won a donut party and the adults also won "new cars!" 😁😁

Our Rangers love the DWL Library!!

Last Friday, both staff and students had a groovy time dressing up for our Student Council’s Spirit Day!
