FAMILY MATH NIGHTS
On Feb. 11 Edison will sponsor the resheduled Family Math Night! Parents of 3rd-5th graders will learn how to support math learning at home. Children should not attend, but child care will be available in the YMCA room. Make sure to attend these, kids in 2nd grade are starting to learn algebraic formulas... this could get scary! Be informed so YOU can help!
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART IS COMING!
Jump Rope for Heart is an American Heart Association Program where kids can raise money to help kids with special hearts. Teacher Jody Bubica (jbubica@etusd.org) organizes this really fun event. Kids raise donations through sponsorship. A DJ comes out and the school jumps for about an hour or so. Parents are invited. For more info check out the American Heart Association website at: http://honor.americanheart.org/

Edison offers Academic Chess, Watch Me Draw and Mad Science programs after school. If you know other programs your child might be interested or that you have heard are popular at other schools, Mrs. Lahr says she’s always open for suggestions.

THE EDISON GARDEN
Our community garden needs volunteers to help with maintenance. Currently the garden has been vandalized and needs help. If you would like to help clear away and trim the plants, please contact Mrs. Lahr at elahr@tusd.org. Some North High students are willing to help, yet we are seeking interested volunteers with gardening expertise to give input.
