E3 Foundation Donates $37,000 to Etiwanda School District
October 2023 - The Etiwanda Excellence in Education Foundation, known as E3, recently 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 all students. The donation provides $2000 for each of the district’s thirteen elementary schools and $2750 for each of the four intermediate schools.
School assemblies can help motivate and inspire students, open doors to new areas of interest, and help bring curriculum and learning to life! Assemblies can also help students learn about other cultures and places. E3 is proud to provide this opportunity to the schools in the Etiwanda School District.
Thanks to efforts of the E3 Board, volunteer and community partners, E3 has provided over $700,000 to the district since 2005.
