PTSA Meeting: Edison's next PTSA meeting is this Tuesday, October 8th at 7pm in the Edison library. Everyone is welcome to attend.
BIG THANK YOU: Huge thank you to our volunteers who helped chaperone the dance. It takes a lot of people to make these events a success and Edison really appreciates parents willing to help. Big thanks to teachers and staff who helped with everything and ensured we had a safe and fun event for students.
VOLUNTEER COACH NEEDED: If you or someone you know is interested in being our volunteer coach for the 6th grade boys basketball team please contact Jackkie Borchardt at 217 - 377 - 8584 ASAP.
Spirit Wear Ordering: It's time for the LAST Edison Spirit Wear order for this school year. If you are interested, please send a check made payable to Edison PTSA, along with the completed order form clearly indicating the student's name, grade and contact phone number, in a sealed envelope marked "spirit wear" and have your student drop off in the main office. Orders will be accepted through October 31st and the orders will be placed in early November and distributed to your student at school well before the winter break. If you wish the order to be a gift, please clearly indicate that on the order form and arrangements will be made to get the order to you rather than your student. Any questions, contact Jo Lynne Clauson via email at joclauson@comcast.net .
We Need More 2 Liters!! 8th grade science teachers still need about 50 - 100 more two-liter soda bottles. We could also use old cereal boxes, and plastic garbage bags (no holes). The rocket launching project has been put off due to lack of materials for each student... but we've not given up! Please send materials with your child to Mrs. Easton or Ms. Anders-Becker.
