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 first school dance of the year is this Friday (October 2) 6-8 pm. Our DJ will be KC from Q96! Admission is $2 and concessions will be for sale in the cafeteria (TCBY yogurt, pizza, soft drinks, water, candy). There is no theme to this dance, and students can dress up or go casual (most go casual!). Students must bring a signed permission form and school id. Permission forms will be handed out this week.
The next Choose Kindness meeting will be Monday October 5 after school. Also on 10/5/2015 from 5-6 at the Hays Recreation Center there will be a Choose Kindness Organization Conference, which will be a community-wide gathering featuring all the CKO chapters and members including: Centennial High School, Central High School, Edison Middle School, Jefferson Middle School, Champaign Park District, and Champaign Special Recreation.
The men of Sigma Phi Epsilon are back for another exciting year of Sig Ep Leadership Academy, with new topics and exciting challenges for 7th and 8th grade students. Please read the attached letter for more information and have your student see Mrs. Cooper in the community center (above the cafeteria) for an application.
PTSA Mini-Grants are now available to Edison teachers and staff! An application form is attached; this year, PTSA is able to award 15 grants of up to $100 each.
