Highlight: Helping Edison Families Over Spring Break

food

Your support helped more than 50 Edison families facing food insecurity over Thanksgiving and even more over winter break.  During spring break, we will still have families facing another long stretch without meals at school.  Our goal is to support 50 families with $50 grocery store gift cards. Can you help? Please consider a donation of any amount.  Donations need to be in by this Saturday, March 21. https://edisonhsptsa.givebacks.com/shop/items/67a31709fa Thank you for your support!


Helping Edison Families - Spring Break Food Bank Fundraiser

car

Looking for a fun way to spend this Saturday morning (March 21) supporting Edison? We need drivers (must be over 21) to help with our mulch sale. We need drivers! We need Penske truck drivers and parents to supply and drive chase cars filled with students who will load and unload mulch. Parents should not have to move any mulch, just have a blast with amazing kids working hard.

Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094BA8A72DABFDC52-mulch#/

The mulch sale is the main fundraiser for the All Night Grad Party celebrating the class of 2026 and we need lots of help! It is a super fun day for parents and students to work together to achieve something big. We will be delivering hundreds of bags of mulch within the Edison Boundary and it all needs to be done in a 6 hour time period.

Help Shape Our Future: Nominating Committee for 2026-2027

people

We are happy to announce that we have a Senior Scholarship Committee!!! Thank you to our volunteers, Oanh, Shana, and Desaree for saying, yes.

Unfortunately, we do not have any volunteers for the Nominating Committee.

Would you please consider volunteering for this committee? The group will put together the slate of candidates, and overseeing the elections, for the following Executive Committee positions:

President

Secretary

Treasurer

VP Communications

VP Membership

Please note that without the first three positions filled for the 2026-2027 school year, our PTSA will not be recognized by the VA State PTA, our umbrella organization.

In essence, we need candidates for all the positions, but we cannot begin the process without a Nominating Committee. So, please say, yes. Thank you. :)
