July 2019 News
Edison teachers, Ms. Felker and Ms. Rowley, both qualified for 2019 grants for their classroom from the AZ Extraordinary Educators License Plate Fund. Congrats to both teachers as they continue to do great things for the students at Edison. Grants take extra time and effort just to apply for these special programs and we appreciate them being willing to go beyond.
Mrs. Youngquist led her readers on cultural explorations for two areas of Hispanic culture. From the artist Frida Kahlo, students were inspired to make a themed picture to go along with their story. From an author study, students studied "The House on Mango Street" by Sandy Cisneros, then created their own street view of their home and neighborhood.
Central Christian Church volunteers invaded Edison for their annual day of service on April 7th. 30 volunteers came to Edison to build, paint, construct and clean on our campus. We are so lucky to have their support in our community.
Edison hosted JA Day with volunteers from Toyota. Toyota employees visited classes to teach Edison students all about business, economics, community resources, and careers. Toyota sponsored a yummy lunch for our staff as well. Our kids really enjoy having our guest teachers for the day and we appreciate Junior Achievement and Toyota for supporting our school.
Congrats to our staff members that have gotten grants for our students.
