At the October 23, 2025 meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Etiwanda School District, the E3 Foundation awarded 15 teachers and instructional support staff members with Innovation Grant Funding. Grants of up to $1000 are awarded annually through a competitive application process and can be used for innovative and creative projects that enrich classroom or school programs. Grants are awarded to those projects that advance the curriculum; pilot a program; encourage creative, innovative effort; inspire and/or motivate students; and have potential for longevity. This year’s total grant funding was $11,325.
This year's grants were presented in recognition of Miller Construction, an E3 Foundation Diamond Sponsor.
This year's grants included programs to support technology, flexible instruction, literature and language, math, science, early learners, physical activity and middle school electives.
