thank you

A huge thank you to the Edison HS PTSA Executive Board and Committees 

This year your Edison PTSA has been able to support many causes, programs, and events and it is due to the efforts of our awesome volunteers!!  We are all parents, just like you,  who want what's best for our students. Without their efforts, time, and energy we would not have been able to provide all that we have. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and especially to our Executive Board and Committee members: Mrs. Burke, Nikki Hayes, Maisi Julian, Angie Hester, Dara Dugan,  and also Lisa Staresina, Sheryl Williams, Isabel Baez, Laura Shanks, Tracie Clemmer, Matt Boli,  and Patricia Skinner.


Edison students and parents came through for the PTSA—All Night Grad Party Committee once again!

Parent volunteers drove delivery trucks and chase cars and OVER 150 Edison students from across Edison high school did all of the heavy lifting (literally).  ANGP had help from baseball, softball, tennis and track teams, and the leadership class.  Other students didn’t come with a group, but heard the call for volunteers and stepped up!  With the help of our amazing Edison community, we were able to deliver over 3,500 bags of mulch in six hours!  Amazing!  Thank you, Edison students and parents!  The PTSA—ANGP Committee can’t do this without your support every year.
