Happy Monday, Cats! Just a reminder that Spirit Week starts today!
🎉 Fun Fact Friday! 🎉
Did you know that this year we’re celebrating Edison’s 70th anniversary? Opened in 1954 as an elementary school, Edison officially became a middle school in 1956! To mark this special occasion, we’re hosting a spirit week and school-wide coin wars, plus sharing some amazing Edison memories throughout the week. Let’s show our school spirit and make this celebration one to remember! 🤍

Student Spotlight!
A big shout-out to 6th grade student Alexis! Today, she received a positive bus referral for a kind act on the school bus. When the bus was busy and crowded, Alexis noticed another student in need and offered them a seat without hesitation! We are beyond proud of the kindness and compassion she displayed! Keep shining, Alexis, you make us proud every day! 🌟
As fall weather rolls in and cooler temps arrive, it’s a good time to remind students to check the lost and found. We’ve already seen quite a few items collected! The lost and found is conveniently located outside the art room by the south bus doors and also in the main office. Please encourage your student to take a moment to look for any missing belongings. Thanks for your help!
Happy Custodian Appreciation Day! Whether it’s tackling biohazards, spilled juice, crunched takis, or turning into snow-removal ninjas, they handle it all with a smile and a “can-do” attitude! No mess too gross, no task too tough – our custodians get the job done! 💪
Ms. Stassi and Ms. Mason's classes made special gifts and cards to show our custodians just how special they are to us. Thank you to Mike, Cam, Derrik, Jai, Chance and Matt for making our school sparkle!
