Our 8th graders had a fantastic field trip to SDSU yesterday, where they explored college life, learned about various programs and majors, and enjoyed hands-on activities at an activities fair.

Student Spotlight!
A big shout-out to 6th grade student Alexis! Today, she received a positive bus referral for a kind act on the school bus. When the bus was busy and crowded, Alexis noticed another student in need and offered them a seat without hesitation! We are beyond proud of the kindness and compassion she displayed! Keep shining, Alexis, you make us proud every day! 🌟
As fall weather rolls in and cooler temps arrive, it’s a good time to remind students to check the lost and found. We’ve already seen quite a few items collected! The lost and found is conveniently located outside the art room by the south bus doors and also in the main office. Please encourage your student to take a moment to look for any missing belongings. Thanks for your help!
Happy Custodian Appreciation Day! Whether it’s tackling biohazards, spilled juice, crunched takis, or turning into snow-removal ninjas, they handle it all with a smile and a “can-do” attitude! No mess too gross, no task too tough – our custodians get the job done! 💪
Ms. Stassi and Ms. Mason's classes made special gifts and cards to show our custodians just how special they are to us. Thank you to Mike, Cam, Derrik, Jai, Chance and Matt for making our school sparkle!
This Friday, October 4th is PICTURE RETAKE DAY! If your student is in need of retakes OR missed the first picture day, please send the picture envelope or order form with them to school. We will call students down for retakes in the morning. If your student needs another order form, we do have extra in the main office. You can also preorder photos by following the link below.

🌟📚 Shoutout to Our Amazing School Library! 📚🌟
Let’s take a moment to celebrate our fantastic school library and its incredible website! From a diverse selection of books to cozy reading nooks, our library is a haven for every student.
The website is a treasure trove of resources. Head to www. libcat.sf.k12.sd.us. Once on the site, select Edison Middle School! On Destiny Discover, students create a book favorites list, see what they have checked out, and see if they have a fine. They can also access Book Butler where a student fills out a form and then Mrs. Smith suggests books based on the answers. Students can also recommend books that we should have in our library, how cool is that?! The library also hosts Fantastic Fridays, Morning Library and Book Clubs.
A big thank you to our library staff Mrs. Smith (librarian) and Mrs. Hoekstra (library clerical) for their hard work in fostering a love of reading and learning in our community. Let’s keep exploring, discovering, and enjoying all that our library has to offer!
