Edgewood's Tiger Talk
September 30th, 2023
We are committed to our journey of developing EACH child to be an inspired learner and a caring, contributing citizen.
Principal's Update
October is a busy month; here's what's coming up!
THE FUN RUN: Thank you for your OUTSTANDING engagement so far with the Online Fundraising too--Fund Hub. You're encouraged to register and share the webpage with friends and family. Any small donation gets us closer to our goal of funding awesome field trips for all of our students.
Over the course of the next two weeks, you'll see incentives pop up. These make school and fundraising fun. If we get to 50% registration (that means we need 45 more students to register), we get a SCHOOL WIDE PAJAMA DAY. (Students love this. Why? I don't know =). Registering is FREE!
The FUN RUN will take place during school on October 13th. 4K, 5K, and 1st grade will run from 1:00-1:30, and 2nd-5th will run from 1:30-2:00. We'll have music, balloons, and fun cheering as students run/jog/walk laps around the school. They'll get a stamp for each lap, but there will not be a minimum of maximum. (1 lap is ~1/5 of a mile). It's great to be outside and active together. Parents are welcome to come and be part of the cheering squad during the event.
BOOKFAIR: The Scholastic Bookfair will run from October 16th-October 20th. You'll have an opportunity to shop the fair with your child on October 18th from 2-7:30 during conferences. Stay tuned for how to set up an e-wallet and a volunteer sign-up.
FAMILY (PARENT-TEACHER) CONFERENCES: This is an important opportunity to connect with your child's teacher and build a partnership to support your child's growth. Don't be shy to tell the teacher what you'd like to know about their school experience--we want you to have the information you need! Conferences will be held on October 18th, 2-8pm, and October 25th, 4-8pm. The sign up comes out next week. Make sure to sign up!
