• 8^th Grade Graduation: 8^th Grade Promotion/Recognition ceremony to be held on Friday, May 25, 2012 in the Edison auditorium, beginning promptly at 9:00 a.m.  Due to space limitations, we are providing two tickets to attend the ceremony.  Parents may pick up tickets from Mrs. Lanman in the Discipline office between 7:30 – 4:00 pm beginning Monday, May 21, 2012.  The doors will open at 8:30 a.m.  After guests with tickets have been seated, other guests will be allowed to enter.  Although it is understood that many families would like to have more than two tickets, the physical capacity of the auditorium limits our capabilities of meeting all requests.  In the event that you determine two tickets are not enough, please call 351-3889 and have your name put on a waiting list with Mrs. Lanman.  If you will not be using your tickets, please call and let Mrs. Lanman know.  If you have special needs, please contact Mrs. Lanman so arrangements can be made to meet your needs.

 

Thank You: A huge thank you to all the parents that provided food for the staff during Teacher Appreciation Week. You really went   above and beyond this year.  We have wonderfully generous parents at Edison and the staff wants to be sure you know how much they appreciate all your efforts.  It was a great way to wrap up the year.
