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.
The Tech Club will be meeting this Thursday (2/5) and will be working with Arduinos. We will be learning how to program, build, and use small robotics. This will be an introduction to a world of possibilities that can teach you how to create and program robotics from the ground up. If you are interested in programing, building, or robotics be sure to be at Tech Club Thursday after school!
Thank you to everyone who helped make last Friday's 80s Dance a success. Administration and teachers who stayed after school, parents who volunteered, and those who came to drop off kids and stayed to help… we couldn't have done it without you. Special thanks to Nena and Eric Stetson for coordinating this fantastic event for our students.
Edison Band Patrons: the next meeting will be Tuesday February 2 (tomorrow), 7 pm in the band room.
We need your feedback! The Illinois State Board of Education conducts a survey every other year to help drive school improvement initiatives at the state, district, and school level.

There are over 15 students who have submitted requests for mentors this year. Mentors visit Edison for one hour every week, play games, chat and hang out with 6th, 7th and 8th graders. If you are interested or know someone that would make a great mentor, please contact Christina Cooper, cooperch@champaignschools.org for an application.
