National Volunteer Week

This week is National Volunteer Week and I'd like to attempt to tell you how grateful I am for your volunteer work.  There is so much done by volunteers at Thomas Edison and I'm amazed at what can happen when so many people help out!  Thanks so much for helping out in library, art, the lunchroom, in my classroom, and for helping grade papers at home.  It would be difficult and overwhelming to do all of that on my own.  You are one of the reasons I love my job.  I appreciate what you're teaching your child about coming together and giving some of yourself to our school community.  Thank you!
