This is Sally Whitelock and Benita Cervantes with announcements for the week of March 15 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 in school in person as long as possible. THANK YOU!

Virtual Passions Day – Coming Soon
Culture and Passions Day will be on Friday, March 26 during the school day. Our theme will be “Pursuing passions help us connect people with respect and compassion”. During the school day, students will watch videos from parents and community members sharing a passion/interest, cultural tradition, or career, as well as engage in activities in their classroom related to passions, culture and career.
Coming soon – Culture Night – virtual this year
Each March, Edison hosts a community Culture Night. This is typically a fun celebration of Edison’s diverse school community with a pot luck dinner of favorite dishes, student dances from around the world, the Mizel museum and a student artifact museum. Due to COVID, we are going virtual this year. Please watch for some virtual cultural experiences from your students and links to a variety of culturally themed virtual field trips for your family entertainment on Thursday, March 25. We would love to hear what you enjoyed and learned, as well as, your most favorite family cultural activity or recipe – please share these on our Facebook page on March 25!
