Edison Middle

Good evening, Eagle families! We are having another dance this Wednesday evening from 330 to 530 at Edison. The cost will be $4.00. Students who are attending the dance will stay after school and be let in the dance once all the students are out of the building. Pickup will be the same as last time-parents should line up in the cafeteria parking lot. If you have any questions, feel free to call the school at 304-420-9525. Thanks, and have a great night!

Good afternoon, Eagle families! We will be having our annual Veteran's Day Rally tomorrow morning from 9AM until 1030AM. The rally will be held at Mary Bs on southside. We will be holding signs and flags in front of the restaurant showing our support for all those who have served our country. We always have a great time and have lots of community involvement. So please make every effort to have your student there tomorrow morning (your whole family is welcome to participate with us too). Sips is donating hot chocolate for us to enjoy also. Thanks, and have a great night! Looking forward to seeing a lot of you tomorrow morning!
