The Holiday Drive at Edison Middle School returned this year! During the month of December, staff members donated a variety of items for students to choose from before heading off to winter break. #YourCommunitySchools

Looks like it was a sweet day for ALL 8th graders Friday (those who weren’t on the band, orchestra and choir field trip, that is 😊). Mrs. McInerney’s 8th grade science classes had a blast building candy wave machines and using them to demonstrate wave movement.

8th Grade Science was a sweet treat on Friday! Students used Oreos to model the amazing process of mitosis and cell division. #ShineOn #YourCommunitySchools
