Mrs. Bannes, Grapeland Elementary' s amazing cafeteria manager, stays busy feeding their students' bellies and filling their hearts with kindness. Her sweet nature and inviting atmosphere make their students’ experiences enjoyable. We are certain the Grapeland Grizzlies truly appreciate her kind ways and efforts!

Mr. Beitler and Mrs. Styles from Grapeland Elementary are getting a high five today from the Smith family. They appreciate how warm and welcoming both of them are by always greeting the students with smiles and, for many, on a first-name basis. They love the dedication and respect they have for each individual student. Grapeland is lucky to have them!

Anaya, a first grade student from Grapeland Elementary, is receiving a high five today. She's had a great start to the year. She's pictured here holding her best friend, Badrrey, and a drawing she made of him.

High Five Fridays are back, and we would love to highlight a student, staff member, or parent that you feel has gone above and beyond this week. Please email a photo with a little bit of information to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org, and we will post it for you.

Did you know? Absences add up! Missing Just 2 days a month means a child misses 10% of the school year.

We are so excited to welcome back our Etiwanda students. We can't wait for you to get back to learning, creating, and exploring with your classmates. Please send first-day photos to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org, and we will post them all week long.
