Cookie Walk: Many thanks to all the families that have already promised to bring cookies for the staff cookie walk next week, but we still need A LOT more cookies. We have approximately 90 staff members, and I would like to be able to give each of them some goodies to take home for the holidays. If you can find time in your already over-booked schedules to do some baking, it would be greatly appreciated by the staff at Edison. Your cookies/candy can be dropped off in the staff lounge on Monday morning. Please e-mail Lynnette Dodds at lynnette24@sbcglobal.net to let her know you can help. Happy Holidays!

If they have a scarf, shoes, or hair accessory in Edison Red (not maroon), they are allowed to wear that as well. I will bring red for those who do not have any.
