Joe Wolfe and Edison Academy also received an Educate Fairfax grant in the amount of $1,200 for an E-bike Design and Build. Electrical Construction and Engineering students will explore what goes into designing and building an Electric (E-bike) and what is needed to have it used for private and possibly commercial use. |
Edison Theatre Company opened the 2022-2023 season last evening with CLUE! Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Col. Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, and Mr. Green are met by the stuffy butler, French maid, and the edgy cook – plus members of the police force - for a night of deception and mayhem.
Performances:
November 4 and 5, at 7:00 PM, plus a matinee on November 5 at 2:00 PM.
The play continues Friday, November 11 at 7:00 PM and concludes Saturday, November 12 at 2:00 PM.

PTSA 'No Fuss' Fall Fundraiser
We are excited to announce the launch of our "No Fuss" Fall Fundraiser. That's right, there's no fuss!! We're not asking you to sell candy or buy wrapping paper, we're just asking for you to donate. After two years of Covid, and the PTSA not doing a lot of fundraising, we really need to replenish our funds. These funds are needed to help provide the programs the PTSA offers the whole school community. So, please consider donating now. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.
