*************************

Hello Edison Families,

I am looking forward to serving as your new PTSA President for the 2013 – 2014 school year.

We have an immediate need to fill. The Class of 2018 (incoming 8th grade)

needs grade reps, including an e-mail person. The 8th

grade year for our Edison Students is very memorable and filled with lots of activities. Without reps, the activities may not happen. If you are interested in being an 8

th grade

rep, please e-mail me. Also if you know of any incoming 6th grade families,

grade reps are needed for that class as well.

I hope you all have a wonderful summer! We will see you at schedule pick up in August. Stay safe.
