Mrs. Gregorian has been a long time teacher at Edison for 25 years. She took a leave of absence to start a new adventure in owning and operating Granny’s in Hermosa Beach. It was a very difficult decision, but Mrs. Gregorian is officially retiring from teaching. We will miss her dearly and wish her all the best. 

Lost & Found Jackets

All lost and found jackets will be donated after the last day of school. If your child is missing any jackets, please stop by the Lost and Found rack by the last day of school. 

Family Fun Night

Thank you for attending the Family Fun Night! It was a well-attended event, and I hope everyone had a great time. As always the face painting station was one of the most popular activities so next year, if you like face painting, please volunteer.
