Greetings!
We hope the first two weeks back from break have been smooth!
A couple of quick reminders:
-
Join the MLK Jr. walk on Monday, January 15, 10am, at EHS.
- The PTSA Nominating Committee, the group that helps to identify PTSA Board Members for next year, is a great way to get involved, and help support our school and our students. Raise your hand!
- If you're shopping at DeCicco's in Scarsdale Village, ask the cashier to apply your purchase to the Edgemont PTSA -- it's an easy way to support our schools!
- See below for Yankees tix -- think Spring!
