A HUGE Thanks from the Cal Fire squad out of Hemet Ryan airport! Miss Tim's class of 5th graders designed and wrote cards and letters to the Cal Fire pilots flying over our hills to keep us safe! They were thrilled to see all of the painting and notes making sure they knew their community at Lightfoot and Etiwanda had them in our hearts while they flew over the Smoky skies of our recent fires! #Calfire #HemetRyan

5th grade students in Ms. Día's class have been studying ecosystems. Students made terrariums during this unit in Amplify Sciencs.

To succeed, aim for 5 or fewer absences this school year, arrive on time, and stay for the entire day! Every minute in class is a chance to learn, grow, and move closer to your goals. Let’s make each day matter!

Attending school not only builds knowledge but also shapes character, creativity, and confidence. Every day in the classroom is a step closer to future dreams, new friendships, and personal growth. Let’s encourage our students to show up, stay curious, and keep learning—because education unlocks endless possibilities!
