Edgewood's Spelling Bee will take place today in the Library during SRT. You should have received an email from Mr. Halferty if you qualified to participate. If you have any questions please see (or email) Mr. Halferty as soon as possible!

Pedestrians are reminded to use the pedestrian pathways only when walking to and from the high school and/or central office.  We have a crossing guard on duty and all students walking need to only cross this busy roadway at the designated crossing pathway.

Students are also reminded that any ride home needs to go through our parent pick up line.  We have some students catching rides home from the high school parking lot and the lot by the soccer fields.  Once again, it is not safe for students to cross these busy roadways.  Additional staff will be in place to prevent continued use of these areas for student pick up.

Here are two Optimist contests which are coming soon:   Optimist Essay Contest- topic is Reaching your Dreams by Choosing Optimism. The deadline is Sunday, February 14th;  Prizes for First is $200, Second  $100, and Third $50. 

Optimist Speech Contest- speeches will be done live but in a socially distanced manner only to judges and not to a live audience the weekend of March 26-28. Judges will be Grace Communications majors. Prizes also will be announced soon: If you are interested, pick up more information in the front office. 

 Best wishes to the Boys Basketball teams in today’s home games against Wawasee. The seventh grade game is scheduled to begin at 5:30p with the eighth grade game to follow.
