Meet the Teachers Night (Open House): Tuesday night, September 14 is Meet the Teachers Night at Edison. We will start at 6:30 pm in the auditorium with a welcome, introductions, and opening remarks. Then at about 6:45, everyone will be dismissed to go to their child's first hour class. We will get about 7-10 minutes in each class, and about 2 or 3 minutes between to get to the next hour's class. It's great to meet the teachers and get to know them and our school! Please come! It's a lot of FUN!
Help Needed for Meet the Teachers Night: The PTSA will be giving out cookies and drink in the cafeteria during "lunch periods" during Meet the Teacher Night on Tuesday, September 14 at 6:30 pm. We need a few volunteers to help lay out cookies and fill drinks. If you or maybe a high school student of yours can help us out, we would really appreciate it! Please contact Mary Schoen Petersen at schoenpetersen@comcast.net if you are able to help. Thanks!
