August 2022

Edison's PTO The PTO would like to welcome all of our Edison families back to school. We are excited for the 2022-23 school year and hope that you will take the opportunity to get involved with the Edison PTO. As a parent (or grandparent, aunt, uncle, guardian, etc) of an Edison student, you are automatically a member of the PTO and a valuable part of this organization of people who support our school.

Why do I need to get involved?
Family involvement at school is very rewarding and important to the success of your child. The PTO needs your voice and commitment in order to provide enriching events and opportunities to our students and to provide support for our amazing staff.
What does PTO do?
· assists with Catapult Day 
· organizes fundraisers, like the Color Run on October 14th, to purchase items for the school and support our staff and students 
· sponsors school assemblies and student enrichment experiences, like the school dance and 8th grade party 
· sells Edison Spiritwear 
· provides meals for staff during parent-teacher conferences, and daily treats during staff/teacher appreciation week 
· helps with bookfair during parent-teacher conferences
Does it cost to join?
No! There are no membership fees. To raise funds PTO hosts the Edison Color Run in October and sells Spiritwear throughout the year. Your support and participation make a HUGE difference for our school. You can also donate directly to the PTO at https://general-donations-to-the-pto.cheddarup.com or send cash or check to the main office in an envelope marked “Edison PTO”
When are the meetings?
Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, September 21st at noon, via Zoom. Watch for an email or check our website for the Zoom link. Please join us! Your attendance is vital to ensure the PTO is meeting the needs of families and teachers of Edison Middle School.
