What's Happening
Harvest Celebration Lunch
Come join your child as we celebrate the season at our Harvest Celebration Lunch, November 19th, 2009 in the gym at lunch time. We will be serving up turkey & all the trimmings during an extended lunch time at Edgewood Community Elementary School. Meals are $2.15 per child and $5 per adult - to help speed up the line please bring exact change or a check made payable to Nutrition Services. Families may also pay using money in their student's account. This option is only available if there is money deposited in their account prior to the day of the event. We are looking for some volunteers to serve food along side our principal, Larry Williams. We can coordinate this so that you can eat with your child and still serve during a different meal period. Please contact Leah Edelman at leahedelman@yahoo.com if you can help.
The meal times are as follows:
Kindergartners in the YMCA program eat at 10:55
1st & 2nd graders eat at 11:15
Alder Quad eats at 11:45
Douglas Fir Quad & E4 eat at 12:15
Please join us for this special meal with your child!

3 Cheers for Edgewood Primary!
Masquerading as superheroes, vampires, and princesses, our terrific children in K-2 trick-or-treated for UNICEF. Returning the little orange boxes provided opportunities to use a variety of math skills as well as feel empowered about helping less fortunate children of the world. We raised $268.00 to provide clean water and vaccines for children in need…Bravo!
Wanted: Adults To Be Reading Tutors
Dear Families,
We are starting the “Read Naturally” reading program and are in desperate need of some extra adult help. Read Naturally helps students increase their reading fluency.
We are currently seeking adult volunteers who are interested in helping out with this program 1-4 times per month for a 35 minute time slot. Minimum computer skills are necessary, since the “Read Naturally” program is loaded onto each computer & is easy for students & adults to learn. The adult volunteer’s role will chiefly be listening to students’ reading during timed readings & offering encouragement & some guidance.
I will be glad to train or answer any questions for anyone that is interested in helping out. This is a fun, rewarding and easy way to make a huge difference in a child’s reading. If you know when you would like to volunteer please follow the link and return your completed form to the Edgewood front office.
Thanks for making a difference.
