Rustic Lane Elementary hosted a highly engaging and educational STEAM Night Family event and extended learning opportunity. This event was designed to provide students and families with hands-on experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). Throughout the evening, nearly 300 Rustic Lane community members visited various stations, each offering interactive activities.

In a display of strong community partnership, representatives from TODEC ,Riverside Health, Primerica Financial Planning , and Mission Middle Schools Dell Tech team attended the event, demonstrating their support for our school . This collaboration further exemplifies the Family and Community Engagement pillar of the Community Schools model, strengthening the bond between the school and its surrounding community.

Our community gathered on November 1st for a Dia de los Muertos Family Picnic. Students created art work that was displayed and our feeder highschool brought their Ballet Folklorico dancers to perform. 

Students in grades 3-6 were invited to participate in an after-school book club. 100 students participated in reading, discussing, and completing activities surrounding the novel, Wild Robot. After the book club was completed we held a Wild Robot Family Movie Night at our local Jurupa 14 theatre. 

Families visited our Community Schools Classroom and filled out positive notes for their students to enjoy on their first day of school. We also had a PICO resource table and resources from our Community Closet available.
