Dear Edgemont Families,

Welcome back!  We’re looking forward to a great week this week.  On Monday the U.S. Department of Education will be announcing our school’s National Blue Ribbon Award.  This is a great honor and reflection of everyone’s, including parents, dedication to student learning and growth at Edgemont.  I’ve included some links below that were shared with me where you can view the announcement.  We’ll be doing some things this year to celebrate this great achievement. If you have any fun ideas for our celebrations, or you would like to be part of our celebration committee, please reach out to me.  Please see below for other calendar items for this week as well as the attached items on this email.  Harmony Kartchner, Principal
