Students with shoes that cannot be used for PE will not be allowed to participate in the events for safety reasons. Mesa Rotary Luncheon Recently, 30 Edison graders attended a Mentor Luncheon with members of the Mesa Rotary. This is a nice lunch sponsored for us and our students learned about the role of service in the community. Edison students dressed up to attend the lunch at the Mesa Hilton. They represented Edison very well and we got a lot of compliments of how great our students were at the event. Students wrote poems about the family and future entitled… “I am an Eagle”. Mrs. Wilkins-Johnson and Mr. Macdonald took the students to the event and were impressed at how well our students represented Edison. We met a man that had attended Edison in the first year it opened in 1957. He still serves his community as part of the Rotary Club members.
