Highlights from the Week!

Celebrations:
  • Edison students celebrated the state-wide Read-A-Thon on Friday! Shoutout to Mr. Castillo, or Advanced Academics Teacher, Ms. Foster, our librarian, and Mr. Howell in 4th grade for collaborating to create awesome bookmarks to help students celebrate reading!

Attendance this Week:
  • Our overall attendance this past week was 92%.
  • Congratulations to 5th grade for having the highest attendance last week! 
  • We are excited to see which students win the first Pizza Party with the Principals for being here on time! 
  • Each morning in the month of October, two students in each grade level who are here on time get a sticker, and then get to add to our Principal's 200 board. Mr. Layton and Mrs. Stern are randomly selecting students who are in line by 7:58am each morning.
