Teacher Appreciation Events

Spring is in the air and that's a great time to show our staff how much we care! Our Teacher/Staff Appreciation Committee has wonderful events planned for the next three months. Want to help? The link to donate is: https://app.memberhub.gives/teacher-staff-appreciation/Campaign/Details


auction

The PTSA will be hosting several online auctions via Givebacks (formerly memberhub) to raise money for senior scholarships, Teacher Appreciation, and other PTSA programs. The first auction will be a Sports/Activities theme and will begin Friday, March 15th at 5:00 p.m. The auction will end Sunda,y March 17th at 5:00 p.m. We will send out a link in the Friday EHS News You Choose.

If you have any items you would like to donate or have any questions, please contact Maisi Julian at vpmembership.edisonptsa@gmail.com or Sharon Riley at president.edisonptsa@gmail.com. Some items that have been donated include a ticket to a Washington Wizards game, a Capitals jersey, a photography session, a massage session and more. Is there a chance you have a pair of Nationals, Wizards or Capitals tickets you'd be willing to donate?

This is a great way to give back to the school and also a great way to promote your business, if you own a small business. Thank you for your support for our Edison Community.

EHS PTSA Dues Changes

At our February PTSA meeting, we announced that we will be voting on dues changes. The 30-day notice, required by our by-laws, will be met by the meeting on March 19. Please make plans to attend, either in person or online, to have a voice in this important issue. For years the Edison family PTSA membership has been $25. We are hoping to change the dues structure so that we are able to keep more of dues proceeds within our local PTSA which will benefit more of our programs. Zoom link for the meeting will be posted to our website https://edisonhsptsa.org
