When you receive the last issue of the Edgewood Enquirer, we should have only two weeks left of this school year.  These last two weeks bring junior high final exams, eighth grade promotion events, yearbooks, end-of-year classroom parties, and preparations for summer school and summer camp.

I want to thank the Edgewood Campus Parent Association board and members for their support and generosity throughout this school year.  If you attended the eighth grade play "Annie," you were able to enjoy the outstanding sound system purchased through your generosity in supporting the Parent Association fundraisers.  I have enjoyed working with the board members and always knew they had Edgewood students' interest at heart.  Thank you all so much for what you have accomplished this year on behalf of Edgewood.

Edgewood has yet again had a stellar year in academic accomplishments as witnessed through our standardized test scores, honor roll recipients, debate awards, science fair winners, and Academic Pentathlon medals. 

The sports program, extra-curricular activities, and social events have added to the "whole child" education received at Fairmont.  Our students have a wide variety of activities in which to participate, as can be noted on the calendar on the Fairmont website.

As you may remember, we started the school year with a new rainproof lunch cover, including lights and fans, which has been a great help on rainy days, on hot days, and for evening events.  Promethean boards and document cameras were added to seven classrooms on our campus, and a mobile cart of Neo computers to serve an entire classroom was purchased with more scheduled to be installed in individual classrooms in the coming school year.  The interactive education provided with these tools is priceless.

I hope to see you and your children during our summer programs or, at the very least, in the fall for the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year.  As always, thank you for your support in our efforts to provide your children with the skills necessary to succeed in life.
