Families First Coronavirus Response Act
PANDEMIC ELECTRONIC BENEFIT TRANSFER (P-EBT)
The federal government’s “Families First Coronavirus Response Act” includes a benefit called Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT) for children who received free or reduced-price school meals in the 2019-2020 school year whose school was closed during the pandemic. Salt Lake County residents who are not enrolled in SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) have to apply separately for P-EBT to receive a credit of up to $308 per child. Enrollment started August 1 and ends August 31. Learn more at uah.org or apply at jobs.utah.gov/pebt.

Calling all 4th and 5th graders!
Start reading the Battle Books now for our annual District Battle of the Books competition. View or print out a bookmark displaying all the Battle Books HERE. Ebooks of these titles are available online through your district SORA account.
There are prizes and rewards for every Battle Book you read. The more you read, the better the prize. If you read five or more by January, you can compete in the school battle.
Writing down 3-5 key points from the beginning, middle, and end of the book as you read will be your ticket to prizes. The winners of the Edison Battle of the Books will form a team and battle other elementary schools at the District Battle of the Books in March. Last year the battle was at Glendale. (Go to the Library page for more information about SORA.)
We Miss You!
Everyone at Edison wants you to know we miss you! We each contributed a piece for a video that our wonderful principal, Ms Damm, put together. Watch the video HERE.

Free Face Masks
The "Mask for Every Utahn" effort is underway in the state.
This is a state of Utah initiative, in partnership with the Utah Manufacturers Association, to help Utahns who may not have a face mask and are returning to the workplace or going out in public. The mask initiative is for all Utahns, especially those who:
- Don't already have a face mask,
- Aren't able to make a face mask or get one from someone else, and
- Aren't able to purchase a face mask.
The state will provide one mask to each resident who needs one, and will mail — upon request, once, and free of charge — up to six masks to each Utah residential address.
Visit https://coronavirus.utah.gov/mask/ to request your mask.
