  • Facebook: Edison PTSA is on Facebook. Make sure you friend us–it's another way to stay informed and see what's going on. Check out the pictures from the Founders Day Dinner where we honored our volunteer coordinator Marilyn Mastny (who is now moving on to Central as their volunteer coordinator) http://www.facebook.com/edisonptsa?ref=tn_tnmn

 

Edison PTSA gets money from this and it's an easy way to help our school. Sign up or if you have a card make sure you tell them you want your rewards to go to Edison Middle School PTSA. This program does not interfere with the gas rewards program.
