Good Day LA Features Eisenhower Elementary

During Good Day LA’s recent visit to Eisenhower Elementary School, reporter Koco McAboy chatted with third grade teacher Andrea McKeever as she highlighted how third grade is a pivotal year — a time when students truly blossom as readers, discovering a love for books and building the confidence to tackle new challenges. Andrea shared how Eisenhower’s recent recognition as a 2025 California Distinguished School is just the beginning! With schoolwide AVID strategies supporting student success, and classrooms filled with curiosity, collaboration, and goal-setting, students are dreaming big. Watch until the end when a couple of students share their future career goals!
