John L. Golden Elementary School

We know there’s someone you’d like to give a high five to—a student, teacher, or administrator who went above and beyond this week! Email a photo and a brief description to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org
and we’ll share them tomorrow. Please send your submissions before 9 AM on Friday.

Quality time with family creates lasting memories, while too much screen time can take them away. Finding balance is the key! #WellnessWednesday #HealthyEtiwandaKids

Time together matters more than time on a screen. Whether it’s playing a game, reading a book, or just talking about the day, family moments help kids grow in ways no device can.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:
Children ages 2–5 should have no more than 1 hour of screen time per day.
Older children should have consistent limits on screen use.

Let’s trade a little screen time for family time—it makes a big difference.

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!
