Students gather during play to read a favorite book to one another.
Principal's Update
Our students blew me away. That sat attentively, engaged, laughing appropriately, and asking great questions. A few of the singers said, "This was one of our favorite schools last year. We're so happy to be back!"
Students at Edgewood are kids--just like kids everywhere else. But, because of the commitment that everyone in our community makes--teachers, families, and students--they grow in their character, they represent themselves pretty well! Thank you for all that you do to support your child's character development. It makes a difference!
March Character Challenge--Empathy Dominos!
In February, we focused on empathy. We're turning our learning into action by doing a schoolwide "Empathy Dominos" Challenge. From March 4th-22nd, we'll collect unopened boxes of cereal. (Normal size). We'll then use our engineering design to create a giant domino chain. All of the cereal we collect will be donated to area food banks. Watch the video below to see how it will work!
