Day Creek Intermediate Band
Thanks to the 2023 E3 Driving Fore Excellence Golf Tournament Helicopter Drop fundraiser, funds were provided by the E3 Foundation to each of the intermediate school band programs.
Day Creek Intermediate band director, Carly Miller shared details about their purchase of music stands so that each band student has the tools they need to shine. Her 7th Grade class which has 85 students benefited the most from all the music stands purchased as there is a student in every seat she has. Ms. Miller has also implemented "Student Band Leader" opportunities on a regular basis. Her students are experiencing not only growth in their musicality, but in developing their leadership skills.
Thanks to each of the Etiwanda School District Band Programs for their dedication to the students and their musical talents!
West Heritage Unites
for Painting and Pizza
Thanks to funds provided by the E3 Foundation, families at West Heritage Elementary joined together for Painting and Pizza to celebrate Black History Month. After enjoying a pizza dinner, under the direction of Mr. Robert Young, students created their own work of art inspired by the painting The Graduate by Ernie Barnes.
Earlier this year E3 donated $37,000 to the Etiwanda School District for use in providing an educational experience, such as an assembly, art or science activity, or other meaningful opportunity for students. The donation provided $2000 for each of the district’s thirteen elementary schools and $2750 for each of the four intermediate schools.
Thanks to West Heritage for planning a great event for students and families!
