This is Sally Whitelock and Benita Cervantes with announcements for the week of December 7 for the Edison Eagles…
Thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. We would like to continue to encourage everyone to stay healthy and do your part to get our community more healthy – wear masks, socially distance, wash your hands, keep your social groups very small. We all need to work together to keep our students at school in person and get more students back into our schools. THANK YOU!

Read-a-Thon – Coming Soon!
Winter break is fast approaching which means it is time for the Read-a-Thon! The Read-a-Thon will take place December 18 – January 4th and has two goals.
1.) Keep students reading during the 18 days off of winter break.
2.) Raise money for classroom libraries and the Edison Library.
This year we will be using Read For My Schools to help track reading minutes and a way to help support donations to the Read A Thon.
Families, help your student set up an account here: https://rfms.app/35311
There are two ways to donate to the Read-a-Thon
1.) Venmo: @EdisonElementaryPTA (Edison gets 100%)
2.) Use Read For My Schools and Stripe (Edison gets 90%)
Students can earn cool prizes for reading over break! The goal is for all students to read for 400 minutes which is about 20 minutes a day. Students can of course read way more than that and move up the leader board! Keep track of your reading and thank you for supporting Edison Elementary.
Edison Spirit Friday
Friday, December 11 – Video game dress up day – dress up or bring a picture of your favorite video game/video game character to school today.
Do you want to drop off holiday gifts for teachers?
If you would like to give a holiday gift to your child’s teacher, please drop it off at Edison on Tuesday or Thursday between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm. Please let Barbara or Michelle know who it is for and we will let the teacher know to come to the school to pick it up. Happy Holidays!
DPS Family Survey
DPS released the latest round of surveys on Nov. 30 to gather feedback from families regarding remote learning.
