Every year the Grange, a Non-Profit Organization founded by farmers to improve agriculture, legislation, and community, donates hundreds of dictionaries to local schools. The Dictionary Program or "Words for Thirds" is a huge project that many Granges do!

This year we had a record amount of dictionaries our Grange ordered and delivered, which essentially means the number of children in need of dictionaries and the amount of which we can help is increasing. 

In total, we delivered 1,200 dictionaries this year! Yet the amazing part is the impact the gift of a dictionary has on these children. And we are always happy to give these children that, the gift of knowledge! 

Thank you Taft-Galloway students for leading the Pledge of Allegiance at the Oct. 15, 2018 Board of Education meeting.

The Wayne Memorial vs. John Glenn football game this Friday, October 12th, was our first Military Appreciation game. We would like to thank our veterans for all they have done. Thank you!

The Edison Eagle Fun Run is the primary fundraiser of the year for Edison.  Students collected pledges from friends and family and then participated in a 1/2 run around the Edison track.  Students earned a bracelet for each lap run and a medal for finishing the run in addition to any prizes won through the collection of donations.  Proceeds from the Fun Run are used by the Edison PTO to pay for class trips, materials, books, and activities throughout the year at Edison.
