Edison Update 10-29

Dear Edison Families,

 

Reports of Student Progress are in the Home and Back folders today.  Please read the accompanying blue paper which explains Mayo's grading process.  Celebrate your child's success and please let your child's Homebase teacher know if you have any questions.

 

We hope your child told you about our Field Study to Philbrook Museum on Tuesday.  Thanks to a grant, every third grader in TPS will get to go to the museum this year.  We looked at several pieces of art and then got to create our own art. 

 

Today we had Fall Parties during family time.  Thanks to those parents who organized the parties, sent supplies for games or crafts, and/or sent goodies.  If you were not contacted by your child's family party coordinator, please let your child's family teacher know and they can put you in touch so you can contribute next time. 

 

Tomorrow, the Feathered Friends Family will be leading Celebrations.  The Mayo Foundation will be giving awards to those that raised the most money for the Made in the Shade Jog-a-thon.  Thanks for all of your support with this event! 

  

Fall Carnival!!! – Our Fall Carnival is coming up TOMORROW from 6:30-8:30PM. This is something that the 5^th graders organize to raise money for their end of the year trip and it is open to all Mayo friends and families. A flyer is attached with more information about admission, ticket sales and activities. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
