Little Soapy Scientists!! This past week, Etiwanda Colony CLOUDS, Mrs. Mobley, and Mrs. Rivera's preschool kids learned all about predictions and had fun doing experiments. They learned how to make their own bubble solutions by making predictions, mixing solutions, testing, and discovering the outcome. They love STEAM!!!
This past week, the students at Perdew Elementary were treated to some fresh fruits and veggies from Old Grove Orange, a local farm. Our amazing Child Nutrition team organized this event, and it was a huge success. Our Etiwanda students learned about different types of produce and how important they are for their growing bodies. Way to go, Child Nutrition!
