The Club Fair was a huge success! Students had the chance to meet the teacher advisors for Edison's clubs and activities for the 2023-2024 school year.
Students in Mr. Wiley's and Mr. Parke's 7th grade science class conducted the Coke and Mentos experiment this week during class. Proper safety gear was worn during the soda eruptions and our custodial crew made sure to clean up afterwards. Sometimes, science is messy.
Last night, the Optimist club celebrated the 2022-2023 Optimist Club Outstanding Teacher, Madame Kate Young. Kate is a highly regarded French teacher at EIS whose love of the French language is contagious. She was joined by Roosevelt's teacher, Andrew Bausch, who was also recognized. Thank you for all that you do for our students, Madame Young!
Madame Young's 4th period French 6 class sits on the rug to share personal stories. They are immersed in the target language as Madame Young responds to every student in French.
Jumping jacks get the blood flowing in Mrs. Zuckerman's period 1 Science class! Students independently move around the room completing various activities to start their morning.
