Welcome back & Edison staff challenged to do ALS ice bucket challenge.

What a great first day of school. As I greeted parents and students on the playground this morning, it was so fun to see the excitement and maybe a little nervousness, on the faces of our wonderful children. We are having a terrific first day. Welcome back!

We have been CHALLENGED…The staff at Brown Elementary have challenged the Edison staff to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! So, we are accepting the challenge and asking for your support. This Friday, August 29 at 3:30 PM, many members of Edison’s staff, including Mrs. Whitelock and Mr. Hamilton, will do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. We would like to encourage our Community Minded community to bring $1 or more to watch the event — 100% of the money raised by Edison’s community will be donated to ALS. Join us as we get WET!
