  • THANK YOU: A hearty thank you to all the Edison families that contributed cookies and candy to the staff cookie walk before break.  We were able to fill 75 bakery boxes for the staff to grab on their way out the door for winter break.  This is even more participation than last year!  The help of the two wonderful ladies that helped me fill the boxes was also greatly appreciated.  We have fantastic, generous families at Edison!
