· Back to School on Monday, March 29!
· Edison Middle School Toolbar: We have something new and exciting we'd like to share with you! It’s the new Edison Middle School - Champaign toolbar – once added to IE or Firefox, each time you shop at more than 1,300 stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!) a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to Edison Middle School - Champaign – at no cost to you (and you may even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals as well!). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet, about a penny is donated to Edison Middle School- Champaign: http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/edison-middle-school-champaign. Please pass this along to all of your friends. The two minutes it takes to add this toolbar to your browser can make a lifetime of difference!
· Become a PTSA Officer: The Edison PTSA is seeking nominations for officers for the 2010-2011 school year. We are in need of a Treasurer. For more information, please contact Mary Schoen Petersen schoenpetersen@comcast.net or Jennifer Clarke jenniferandjohnc@sbcglobal.net.
· Honor a Volunteer: If you would like to recognize the efforts of an Edison volunteer, please contact Marilyn Mastny at mastnyma@champaignschools.org. The volunteer will be invited to the Volunteer Appreciation Reception to be held at Edison on Wednesday, April 28 from 10-11 a.m. It’s a great way to say thank you to someone who deserves it!
· Box Top Organizer: Edison is in need of a volunteer who will help collect, organize and cash in Box Tops next year. This is an important role because it’s an easy way for the school to make money. If interested, please contact Laurie Jacob at jacobla@champaignschools.org. Thank you to Nancy Snell who has been doing this for Edison!
