Recently, our Band musicians were assessed at the State and district level for their performances. We had outstanding results!
• The Edison Concert Band received the rating of 2, which is Excellent.
• The Edison Wind Ensemble has received the rating of 1, which is Superior.
• The members of the Edison Marching Band and Edison Wind ensemble have both received Superiors this year, which means this is the first time in recent history that Edison has the honor of being named a Virginia Honor band. This recognition is only given to schools that display a comprehensive program; this is the highest honor bestowed by the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association.
Congratulations to the Edison band members, along with our director, Charlie Mitchell, for their hard work to earn this prestigious award!

Laura Prince, science department chairperson, was nominated by her peers to be Edison Eagle of the Quarter. She teaches the IB class Theory of Knowledge, Chemistry, and IB Biology, and last year became certified as a researcher at the Library of Congress. Her colleagues say that she actively listens to their concerns and comments, which in turn allows them to speak openly and work collaboratively. The Science Fair has grown under her guidance, and our many students who won or placed with their projects this year shows her commitment to them. Congratulations, Laura! |

To cap off Teacher Appreciation Week, our wonderful PTSA treated our teachers and the entire staff to a delicious lunch today -- chicken, rice, fries, plantains, yucca fries and desserts were all a big hit! We had happy, full teachers with big smiles for the rest of the afternoon. We appreciate you! |
