Edison's Mission
It is our mission at Edison Middle School to work collaboratively to place the focus on the academic, social, and emotional needs of each individual student first and ensure that ALL students are prepared for post-secondary education.
Jazz Band Concert: don't miss Jazz Bands 1, 2, and 3 performing this Thursday (Dec 4) at 7 pm in the auditorium.
The Pajama Project is looking for donations of new pajamas for children in need. Edison's Cross Country team is working on the pajama project as their service project. We've asked the social studies teachers to donate their room for drop offs. Students/parents/teachers can drop off donations of new pajamas to one of the social studies teachers at Edison Middle School. The Cross Country team will then collect donations after December 5th to take to Salt and Light. See attached flyer for more information.
Spring Musical Auditions: The Fine Arts Department would like to announce auditions for "Edison Middle School: A Century Celebration" to be performed on March 5, 6 and 7. We need singers, actors, dancers, and students for the parts of The Temptations, Walter Kronkite, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, among many others. Audition information and forms will be available inside the entrance to the auditorium. Auditions will be Dec. 16 and 17th, with an audition workshop on Monday, Dec. 8th. Come help us tell the story of our school through the last century- you won't want to miss it!
The next great Edison video, "Go Edison" is in full production and we need your help! The video will focus on school spirit and will be including a pep rally scene with the band and cheerleaders. We are currently seeking donations of poster board, red paint, black paint, markers, red and white steamers, red and white confetti, and red and white balloons. We would also welcome any other school spirit type props. Please bring donations to Ms. Rotramel or Mr. Holden by Friday, December 5. Thank you for your support.
Students: The "Go Edison video" needs your help! Are you artistic? Do you have school spirit? Then come help spread Comet Pride. We will be making posters and banners to use in the video this Wednesday and next Wednesday after school in Ms. Rotramel's room. Come to room 330 from 2:45 to 3:30 on December 3 and/or 10th to help with prop production. Can't wait to see you there!
