Today our Edison Student Council students delivered homemade May Day baskets to every Edison staff member and to the homes surrounding our school. There were lots of smiles from the recipients and just as many from the students delivering them.

Happy May Day from Edison Student Council!

Yesterday was one of our tried-and-true favorite dress-up days, Staff/Student Swap Day.
This one always delivers. Teachers lean in, students do too, and it’s just fun to see everyone switch it up for a day.
Safe to say it might be a favorite among the staff… possibly even more than the students.

Big congratulations to one of our very own, Mrs. Fogarty, on the opening of her art exhibit!

We are so lucky to have such an incredibly talented and passionate art teacher at Edison. Her creativity and dedication inspire our students every day, and it’s so exciting to see this vision come to life.

Mrs. Fogarty helped create an opportunity for Sioux Falls School District art teachers to showcase their own artwork, giving students a chance to see that their teachers are artists, too.

Check out the article to learn more, and be sure to stop by and experience the exhibit while it’s open—you won’t want to miss it!

The “Teachers as Artists” exhibit showcases the teachers’ work not just as educators, but as artists inside and outside of the classroom.

SD Assessment Testing will take place Monday, April 20 through Friday, April 24 at Edison Middle School.

We will be using a two-hour late start schedule AFTER testing each day, but school will still begin at the regular time of 8:55 AM. Testing will begin shortly after students arrive, so being on time is very important!

We appreciate your support in helping students feel prepared and confident. A few quick reminders:
• Be on time (8:55 AM start)
• Charge Chromebooks nightly and bring chargers
• Bring wired earbuds (available in the office for $1 if needed)
• Get a good night’s sleep + eat breakfast
• Bring a choice read book for after testing
• Cell phones and smart devices must be off and in lockers

We are also accepting donations of gum or mints. Students can drop these off in the office before April 20. Thank you for your support!

Let’s have a great week of focus, effort, and growth! We know our Edison CATS are ready!

Our Oceti Sakowin 8th graders earned a field trip to Augustana University on Thursday!

Students experienced music and film production, participated in hands-on science experiments, explored a variety of art exhibits, and toured campus. It was a great day of learning, exploring, and spending time together outside the classroom.

Thank you to our EMS Athletics PTO and every person who volunteered, donated, and attended our pancake feed! Together, we raised over $1,300 to support Edison Athletics-what an incredible show of support for our student-athletes!

Attention all 8th graders going to Roosevelt! Connections is a great opportunity for incoming freshmen to get a jump on high school. Students will learn the ins and outs of Roosevelt and earn 0.5 credits towards graduation (that is the same amount that you earn for a semester long class!). Start their high school experience off on the right foot by enrolling in Connections! Space is limited. (If you are going to a different Sioux Falls public high school you can use the same link to sign up, just click on your high school when it asks which school you are going to!)
