Wrapping Up 2025 with Spirit and STEAM

A heartfelt thank you to all of our families who joined us for the annual Fontana Christmas Parade! Once again, our ASA community showed up in full spirit and demonstrated the excellence we are so proud of.

From our wolves singing Jingle Bells in Mandarin and Feliz Navidad, to our fight song, cheer team performing to Jingle Bell Rock, drumline and tall flags marching in cadence, and our Lion Dancersโ€”this parade was a beautiful showcase of what STEAM and community truly look like at ASA. A special thank you to our students for their patience during the โ€œwaitingโ€ moments of the paradeโ€”you represented ASA with pride!

It may have felt like Christmas in July, but together we shared the true magic of the season with our Fontana community.

A huge thank you to the Villalpando family for renting and generously donating the flatbed trailer that transformed into our incredible singing float.

As we carry this holiday spirit forward, we are still accepting donations for the Fontana Toy Drive through Wednesday, which will be the last day to bring in donations. Thank you for helping us model for our wolves the importance of giving back and supporting others in our community.

We are looking forward to finishing the 2025 year strong with meaningful learning taking place this week and closing out the year with our Winter STEAM Day, where students will engage in hands-on STEAM activities in their classrooms.

We are excited to finish 2025 strong at ASAโ€”continuing to learn, grow, and shine together!

Your Proud Principal,

Fontana Facilities Update

We know many of our Fontana families have been asking about the installation of the play structure and shade structure. Per our Facilities Use Agreement with the Fontana Unified School District, these projects are the responsibility of the district.

The latest update from FUSD indicates that the plans are still with civil engineers and must reach 80% completion before being submitted to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) for approval. The district is awaiting confirmation from their architect on next steps.

We will continue to share updates as soon as we receive them. Thank you for your patience as we work with FUSD to ensure these much-anticipated improvements move forward for our Wolves.

Counseling Connection๐ŸŽ

๐Ÿง  This Weekโ€™s Social Emotional Learning(SEL) Skill: Citizenship ๐ŸŒŸ

Citizenship means being a responsible member of your community โ€” your classroom, school, neighborhood, or even the world. Good citizens care about others, follow rules, and help make their community a better place.

When we practice citizenship, we show respect, responsibility, and kindness in the way we act and the choices we make.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Character Skill Reflections:
  • What does it mean to be a part of a community?
  • How can being a good citizen help your neighborhood or community become a better place?
  • What is one way you can be a better citizen?

If you have any questions or would like counseling support for your child, you can reach Mr. Thornhill at (909) 258-9937 or via email at aodhan.thornhill@asathrive.org
